Grain Place Foods | Non-GMO Organic Hulled Barley | Made in the USA | 2 lb Bag | 2 Pack

Kosher Hulled barley has only the outer husk removed, and is thus more nutritious than pearled barley, which has husk, bran and germ removed. Barley has a rich, nutlike flavor and chewy consistency that makes it a great addition to soups and stews. It can also serve as a side dish alone or mixed with other grains or as an addition to salads. For a soft texture try adding 4 cups water to 1 cup barley, for a firmer quality use less water. They buy the best quality as close to home as possible, and wherever possible, they maintain grower identity.
