BARLEY, BLACK

Description:

Known as "Purple Hulless Barley", Black Barley is originally from Ethiopia. Because the bran layer stays attached to the kernel and is edible, black barley is the only grain that can go from field to table without being processed. Black barley has a nutty flavor with a nice crunch.  The shape of the grain is similar to a coffee bean.  Black Barley has a glossy, deep purple color that creates a beautiful alternative to rice or a striking contrast in rice pilafs.  Delicious in stuffing, soups, salads, pilaf and curry. 

Suggested Use:

Barley and Wild Rice, Black Barley and baked beans, Black Barley with sun-dried tomatoes and scallions, Black Barley in oxtail soup and Black Barley with roasted Mallard are just a few of the ways to prepare this beautiful grain.
