Description
Cleaned barley is first dehusked to take off the sharp awms and the papery layer attached to the grains. This we do as lightly as possible in order to retain as much of the grain, fibre and germ as we can. This is “pot barley” (as distinct from “pearl barley”, which can be bought in supermarkets, which has been polished down further to smaller, near spherical grains more equivalent to a “white” as opposed to “wholemeal” product).
