How to Cook Barley

How to cook Barley

Barley is easy to cook on the stove! Just simmer with water and you have a tasty whole grain that can be used in a variety of ways.

Always rinse barley before adding it to the pot. This will remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated on the grains. It will also remove some extra starch from the grains. This starch makes the end result grains stickier.

There are 2 types of barley you could be making: hulled barley or pearl barley. It’s important to know which one you have because the cooking time is different for the two.

Pearl barley has had an extra layer removed from the top of the grain, resulting in a quicker cook time and softer texture. Hulled barley cooks longer and is chewier.

When cooking barley, use 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of dry barley.

One cup of dry barley will make approximately 3 1/2 cups of cooked barley

Ingredients
* 1 cup dry barley pearl or hulled
* 3 cups water
Instructions
* Rinse the dry barley grains under cold water to remove any dirt and excess starch.
* Add water and dry barley to pot on the stove. Bring to a boil over high heat.
* Lower the heat to a simmer the pot. Pearl Barley will simmer for about 25 mins, while hulled barley will need 40.
* After the required time, check the barley for desired chewiness. If you'd like it softer, add a little water and continue to simmer until water is absorbed. (If too much water is added and the grain reaches desired texture, drain the excess water).
* Enjoy making it with various styles
Happy cooking

Any food boiled with excess water should not be poured out it can be used for drinking plainly or adding for soup as of veggies . Barley is good for dieticians and water can be taken as mixed with curd as Buttermilk too . Jai Shri Ram 🙏

kind of like a cross between rice and oats.

Too much water!
It should be the same as cooking rice!

Water should only cover the top of the barley 1 knucklebone high.
Once the pot boils lower the heat into a simmer for 20 min.
Done!
