All natural and organic pearled and hulled Barley. Cook in soups or by themselves. Makes for an extremely healthy side dish and an awesome mushroom and barley soup! Can be used to bake with breads as well.

Organic Barley Cooking Instructions

To cook, bring 1 cup barley and 2 1/2 cups water or broth to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, covered, until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand five minutes. Makes 3-3 1/2 cups.

Organic Barley Storage

For cabinet storage, it is best to store barley in sealed containers of plastic or glass. The grain should be tightly wrapped for refrigerator or freezer storage.

The best storage locations for storing barley are cool, dry areas away from heat and light, or store it in the refrigerator or freezer.

Organic Barley Shelf Life

Barley can have a shelf life of up to one year if properly stored.

It is best to store barley in the refrigerator or freezer during the summer months or year-round in hot climates, but it must be tightly wrapped to reduce the possibility of the grain absorbing moisture from the refrigeration compartment.
