The grain has one of the lowest Glycemic indexes (28) out of all the grains.
Difference Between Pearled and Hulled Barley
When it comes to barley, there are two main varieties: pearled and hulled. Pearl Barley has had the outer husk and bran layers removed, resulting in a smoother texture and shorter cooking time. Hulled Barley, on the other hand, retains the outer bran layer, making it a whole grain with more fiber and nutrients. While pearled barley cooks faster, hulled barley offers superior nutritional benefits and a chewier texture. The bright side, at Goodness Farm, we soak the barley with husk for an optimized time, thus activating the enzymes known as sprout activating the grains- awakening the grains from their dormant stage.
Hulled barley is the healthiest type and requires longer cooking time. It is a whole grain and has more nutrients compared to other types.
