About Barley, pearled, raw
Pearling strips away barley's bran layer, shortening cook time and giving the grain a milder flavor and smoother texture than hulled barley. What gets lost in the process is a good portion of the fiber, though some remains. The raw grain keeps well in a pantry and can be used in soups, stews, and risotto-style dishes. It still delivers a solid, filling base compared to refined white rice, just without the nutritional depth of its unhulled counterpart.
