FAQ

What does “pearled barley” mean?

Pearled barley has the outer hull removed and is polished for quicker cooking and a more tender bite (as stated as “pearled for faster cooking”).

How do I use it in place of rice?

Use it in soups, grain bowls, or “risotto-style” dishes—barley stays pleasantly chewy and absorbs flavor well.

Is barley gluten-free?

No. Barley contains gluten, so it isn’t suitable for a gluten-free diet.
