About Barley, pearled, cooked
Cooked pearl barley has a soft, slightly chewy bite and a mild, almost creamy quality that absorbs broth and aromatics well. At this stage it has already lost some fiber through the pearling process, and cooking dilutes the calorie density further, so it sits comfortably as a low-fat, moderate-fiber grain to bulk out soups or grain salads. Easy to batch-cook and store, it holds up in the fridge for several days.
