What is hulled barley?

Hulled barley is barley grain that has had its outer hull removed, making it more digestible and quicker to cook than whole barley. It retains its bran and germ, which means it retains much of its nutritional value, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Often used in soups, salads, and as a side dish, hulled barley has a chewy texture and a nutty flavor. It is considered a whole grain and is a healthy addition to various diets.
