Pearl Barley
Good nutritional profile
Pearl barley boiled in unsalted water, values for the cooked grain.
Pearl barley is barley with the hull and bran polished off, simmered as a side dish, in soups and stews, or as Russian perlovka porridge. A 150 g cooked portion gives about 185 kcal, 3.4 g of protein and nearly 6 g of fiber, including soluble beta-glucan, with useful selenium, niacin and manganese. Dry pearl barley swells to about 2.9 times its weight when cooked, so 150 g cooked is about 52 g dry.
