Bob's Red Mill, Pearl Barley, 1 lb 14 oz (850 g)

Our pearl barley is a good source of fiber with a mild, nutty flavor and tender, chewy texture. This hearty grain is great in risottos and pilafs, as well as classic comfort foods like vegetable barley soup and beef and barley soup.

Stovetop: Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a pot with 1 tsp salt. Add 1 cup rinsed barley, return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high and boil uncovered until soft, 25-30 minutes. Drain off cooking water, then serve.

Slow Cooker: Place 1 cup rinsed barley, 4 cups water and 1 tsp salt into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 21/2-3 hours or high for 50-60 minutes. Drain excess water and serve.

Multi-Cooker: Place 1 cup rinsed barley, 4 cups water and 1 tsp salt in the pot of a multi-cooker. Set the valve to sealing. On manual setting and high pressure, set for 20 minutes. Quick release the pressure. Drain excess water and serve.
