Pearled Barley

Ottawa Valley Grain is a fourth generation custom grain mill based in Carp, Ontario that sources from farms in and around the Ottawa Valley - and often, directly from the farmers themselves. Knowing where their grain comes from and exactly how it's delivered and processed helps ensure they remain true to their heritage of providing nutritious and wholesome grains to Canadians.

This Pearled Barley is produced from fully-matured barley grain that is then passed through a pearling machine. The pearling process removes the hull (the outer layer of the grain) from the kernel, which helps to lower the cooking time of the grains and extends their shelf life. Pearl Barley undergoes a longer pearling process than Pot Barley, giving it a more polished appearance.

Pearl Barley makes an excellent addition to soups and stews and can be used to make Barley Pudding.
