Hulless barley is one of the most minimally processed forms of the grain around, and it provides all of the essential vitamins and minerals that are often lost with more processed barleys. Hulless barley is grown in the same way as more traditional types (like hulled barley,) except the hull (which is an inedible shell) is so loose that it naturally falls off during harvesting. Because of this, hulless barley can be labeled as a whole grain without having to go through the extra process of stripping any excess hull.

Hulless barley is a heart-healthy food that keeps you full without unhealthy fats or sugars. Its low sugar and cholesterol content help to keep blood sugar levels healthy and stable, and its high protein content is great for athletes and vegetarians. Plus, fiber is an essential part of any healthy diet, and hulless barley provides a stunning amount per cup compared to most processed cereals.

How to Use Cooked Barley

You can add the cooked barley to a number of soups, porridges, salads, and other healthy meals and snacks. You can even eat it plain by mixing it with brown sugar or cinnamon for a deliciously healthy breakfast. Barley is a cheap nutritional powerhouse that goes perfectly with a number of dishes, and hulless barley remains one of the best ways to enjoy this essential grain today!
