Pearl Barley

Product information

In culinary terms, barley is best known as an ingredient in beer. Along with einkorn and emmer wheat, this is the first cereal that was deliberately grown and cultivated by humans. The little grains enrich stews and soups, but also make an excellent addition to salads or an unusual side dish, such as “barley risotto”. The barley corns grown in Lower Saxony are processed after harvesting by de-hulling and polishing, creating the pearls. The pearls give dishes a slightly tart aroma and supply many minerals.
