About Barley, hulled
Hulled barley is the least processed form of the grain, with only the tough outer hull removed, leaving the bran layer intact. That makes it one of the more fiber-rich grains you can cook with, and it carries a substantial amount of protein for a cereal grain as well. The texture after cooking is chewy and satisfying, and the nutty flavor works well in hearty soups, grain bowls, or pilafs. It takes longer to cook than pearl barley, so soaking overnight helps, but the payoff in nutritional value is worth the extra time.
