As Barley contains fiber throughout the entire kernel and not just in the outer bran layer, pearled barley retains significant amounts of fiber. Barley provides a range of important vitamins and minerals like selenium, B vitamins, copper, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium, niacin, and more. Pearl barley is very versatile and lends itself to a variety of dishes. You can add pearl barley to soups, stir fries and stews in the place of rice for a tasty change. It can also be cooked up as a hot cereal, stirred into salads, or used in stuffings. The mild nutty flavor and tender chewy texture is also wonderful in pulav or risotto.
