There are two basic types of barley and both existed back in
ancient times: Hulled and without Hull. The difference is hard to
understand, but here goes; In hulled barley, the hull binds to the
kernel and does not come off during harvest. In hulless barley, the
hull is not bound to the kernel, and it falls off easily. So
hulless barley does have a hull *- but the hull comes off easily,
leaving the whole-grain kernelintact. With hulled barley, the hull
must be rubbed off *- using a process called "pearlizing".
For some reason, modern industrialized western countries
disregarded the hulless barleys. From a nutritional standpoint,
that was not a good thing. Because pearlizing barley removes most
of the bran during the process of rubbing off the hull. With
hulless barley, no bran is removed, leaving the complete,
whole-grain goodness of the barley intact.
Lucky for us, hulless barleys did not go away. They are still an
important food crop in Northern Africa, the Middle East and in the
Himalayas. And lucky for us farmers are bringing back ancestral
crops and growing them here in the Pacific Northwest - including
Purple Barley.
