Dry Pearl Barley
Good nutritional profile
Pearl barley, values for the dry, uncooked grain.
Pearl barley is polished barley grain, cooked as a side dish, in soups such as Scotch broth and Russian rassolnik, or as perlovka porridge. A 60 g dry portion gives about 210 kcal, 6 g of protein and 9 g of fiber, and is high in selenium and manganese, with useful copper and niacin. Log the dry weight: pearl barley swells to about 2.9 times its weight when cooked, so 60 g dry makes about 175 g cooked.
