Bryan: I really like Barley, I think it's a great grain. I toast it then cook it in a rice cooker, or I put it in home made beef and Barley soup, it's good stuff

808D: The barley itself is tasty and wonderful! My local store stopped selling barley so I’m glad this is offered. The only problem is that with both times I’ve ordered, the outer product box that holds the plastic bags of barley inside is completely mangled and the barley bags are falling out when I receive it. Shipping tape is loosely wrapped around the mangled box by USPS or whatever company is delivering the item because the box breaks open too easily.

Stoney: > COMPARISON WITH  Bob's Red Mill Barley Hull-Less Whole 2Pk . Both nominally cook in about 1 hour. The Hulless can be cooked at least 3-5 hours and remain crunchy/chewy. The Pearl is fully cooked after 1 hour, and gets too mushy if cooked much longer. The crunchy/chewiness of Hulless is a nice contrast of texture as a minor component of a soup or in a salad, etc. The Pearl is tastier and more pleasing to the palate as a bowl of warm cereal, or as a major component of a dish. The Hulless is said to be healthier.
> Recommendations: If this is your first barley purchase, then go for Pearl Barley. When you've decided that you are a barley lover, try the Hulless.
> For two, I measure 1/4 cup in a 1-cup measuring cup, add water to a total of 1 cup, and then simmer on a low boil for 1 hour. That produces about 1 cup of cooked barley. You don't have to wait for the water to boil before adding the barley. Do not drain the barley if you plan to use it in a soup or stew. Drain and rinse if you plan to use it in a salad, such as a bean salad. Or, if you've cooked the barley in advance, just turn off the heat and leave the barley in the pot, and it will absorb any...
