McCabe Organic Grain, 3-Pound (2-Pack) (3lbs Pressed Barley and 3lbs Baby Pearled Barley) - 6lbs

Both pressed barley and pearled barley are derived from barley and contain gluten naturally. This product is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or barley allergies. The grains may also be processed in facilities that handle wheat and other allergens.

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Once opened, keep each barley variety in an airtight container to preserve freshness and protect against moisture and pantry pests.

Pressed Barley – Stovetop Method

Rinse 1 cup of pressed barley thoroughly under cold water. Soaking is optional but can help shorten cooking time. Add the barley to a pot with approximately 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for approximately 30–40 minutes, or until tender. Drain excess water if needed and allow the barley to rest for a few minutes.

Baby Pearled Barley – Stovetop Method

Rinse 1 cup of baby pearled barley thoroughly. Add it to a pot with approximately 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for approximately 25–35 minutes, checking occasionally for tenderness. Drain any excess water before serving.

Soup & Stew Method

Add ½–1 cup of rinsed barley directly to soups or stews. Add enough cooking liquid to allow the barley to expand during cooking. Simmer until the grains become tender, usually around 30–45 minutes, depending on the variety and recipe.

Rice Cooker Method

Rinse the barley thoroughly and, if desired, soak for several hours. Add 1 cup of barley with approximately 3 cups of water to the rice cooker. Use a whole-grain or mixed-grain setting if available. Allow the cooked barley to rest briefly before serving.
