Barley is a plant that can withstand extremes in temperature and has a short growing season.
About 95% of the barley grown in America is used for animal food or to make beer. Like all grains
the outer husk of barley must be removed to make it edible. Whole grain barley (hulled barley) is
the most nutritious form and the best to buy. Unfortunately, most grocery stores carry pearled
barley, which is more processed. The size determines how much of the bran and germ have been
removed.
The larger the pearl, the less it has been milled and the more nutrients and fiber it has retained.
