Whether in soups, salads, risottos, or baked goods, this ancient grain adds a subtle nutty flavour and satisfying chew to any dish.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Rich in Fibre: Pearl barley is an excellent source of soluble fibre, especially beta-glucan, which supports healthy digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and promotes heart health by lowering cholesterol.
  • Source of Plant-Based Protein: With a balanced protein profile, pearl barley is a great addition to plant-based diets, providing the building blocks for muscle repair and overall health.
  • Packed with Essential Nutrients: This grain is rich in vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins (especially niacin and B6), iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium, supporting energy production, immune function, and bone health.
  • Low Glycaemic Index: Pearl barley's slow-releasing carbohydrates help to maintain steady blood sugar levels, providing long-lasting energy and preventing spikes.
  • High in Antioxidants: Barley contains various antioxidants like selenium, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports a healthy immune system.

  • Naturally Versatile: The smooth, slightly chewy texture and mild nutty flavour make pearl barley an ideal grain for soups, stews, salads, and more.

  • Nutritious Salads: Toss cooked pearl barley into salads for added texture, making it perfect for grain bowls or cold pasta-like salads.
  • Wholesome Risottos: Use it in place of rice to make a creamy barley risotto, offering a unique twist on this Italian classic.
