Pearl barley is whole barley that has had the outer bran removed. By removing the outer bran, pearl barley cooks slightly quicker than pot barley as it does not require pre-soaking. This makes it ideal for adding to soups and stews, but also in stir-fry or pilaf. Pearl barley is the most common form of barley for consumption as it cooks faster and is less chewy. It is a hearty and tasty grain.

How to do you serve Signature Snack Organic Pearl Barley?
It is recommended to thoroughly cook the barley before consumption. If you’re cooking it as part of a pot of soup or stew, add it in at the beginning of the cooking process. You also can place 1 cup of barley and 3 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 45 minutes, until barley is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. It does not require any pre-soaking. When pearl barley has cooked, it should have a semi-translucent "pearly" colour and will be soft.
