Organic Pearled Barley
Our organic pearled barley is a rich source of B vitamins, including niacin, thiamin, and pyridoxine (vitamin B-6). It also contains beta-glucans, a type of fiber that scientists have linked to various health benefits.
It is important to note that barley will usually expand to three and a half times its volume when cooked.
What is the difference between hulled, pearled and naked barley?
- Hulled barley undergoes minimal processing to remove only the inedible outer shell, leaving the bran and germ intact.
- Pearled barley has neither the hull nor the bran making it more soft and neutral tasting but this process strips some of the nutrients.
- Naked barley is simply a barley variety that the husks naturally fall off. They do not need to be mechanically removed. It is a whole grain like hulled barley with the bran and germ.

Locally grown in Canada, buying our organic pearled barley encourages local farmers and reduces pollution from long-distance transportation.
