Pot barley
Pot barley
Pot barley is minimally polished barley retaining some bran, simmered for soups, stews and grain dishes to produce chewy, mildly nutty grains.
About Pot barley
Pot barley is a minimally polished form of barley in which some of the outer bran remains. It is cooked in soups, stews and grain dishes, usually after simmering until tender. Its retained outer layers make it less processed than pearled barley, though exact polishing can differ among products.
The dry grains are tan and rounded, becoming chewy and mildly nutty when cooked. Pot barley is sold dried, whole or sometimes cracked; cracked grain cooks more quickly and has a different texture. Cooking increases moisture substantially, so cooked and dry forms should not be treated as equivalent.
