Pearled Barley

A staple Mediterranean diet ingredient - tender, chewy pearled barley is a versatile grain that is nutritious, easy to cook, and can be used in many ways. Pearled barley is an ancient grain with a pleasant chewy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. It is also quite nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Pearled barley is the most common form of barley, and it cooks at a much quicker rate than typical barley. This is because the outer layers of the barley have been partially removed, leaving only a small, smooth pearl – hence, the term “pearled”. An ideal alternative to rice, pearled barley adds heft to soups and stews, makes a wonderful pilaf, and can even be cooked into a hearty porridge.
