organic pearl barley

This ancient grain is highly nutritious with a delicious nutty flavour. Use it to add a chewy texture to salads and hearty soups or use as a substitute for rice in risotto-style dishes. It is rich in protein, fibre and antioxidants. To cook, use twice the amount of water or stock to barley and a pinch of salt. Cook on the stove for 40 minutes until cooked, adding more liquid if needed. Store dried pearl barley in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry place.
