Wholesome, versatile, and proudly Australian. Our Organic Pearled Barley is sourced from Kialla Pure Foods – a trusted name in certified organic grains since 1988. Grown and processed in Queensland, this barley has been minimally polished to retain its natural goodness while making it quicker to cook and easier to digest.
What is Pearled Barley?
Pearled barley is barley grain that has had its outer husk removed and been lightly polished to reduce cooking time. Unlike hulled barley, which retains the bran layer, pearled barley is softer and better suited to soups, risottos, pilafs and hearty grain salads. It still delivers a solid dose of fibre and slow-burning carbs – making it a great base for nourishing meals.
How can I use Pearled Barley?
Barley is incredibly adaptable. Add it to:
- Slow-cooked soups and stews
- Grain-based salads (try swapping it in for rice or couscous)
- Pilafs and warm winter bowls
- Fermented drinks like barley water
To cook: Rinse and simmer in a ratio of 1 part barley to 3 parts water for around 45 minutes or until tender.
What is the best way to store Grain?
