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.

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...
