Description
This pearled barley has been processed to remove its fibrous outer hull and polished to remove some or all of the bran layer. Pearl barley has a neutral-cereal taste with a distinct texture.
Usage tips
Try barley flakes as a breakfast porridge instead of oats. It can be added to soups and stews. Include it in a salad or eat as a side dish instead of rice or quinoa.
Nutritional benefits
Barley contains soluble fibre, which reduces hunger and enhances feelings of fullness. It may even promote weight loss, helps food move through your gut and promotes a good balance of gut bacteria, both of which play important roles in digestion.
