Today I am writing a product review of Oo Mugi Organic Barley Grains, this is called pearl barley. Most of the barley found in the typical supermarket is pearl barley.

Although it is technically a refined grain, it's much healthier than other refined grains because (a) some of the bran may still be present and (b) the fiber in barley is distributed throughout the kernel, and not just in the outer bran layer.

Pearl barley cooks more quickly than whole grain barley.

Barley flour has a sweet, nutty-like flavor and may be added to your favorite baked good recipes. I am highly recommend this flour to everyone..it controls the blood sugar level, reduces blood pressure and it also has slightly more fiber than whole wheat flour.o
