Clear Creek Pearled Barley is sourced from Washington and Idaho family farms. We are working to bring nutrient-rich products sourced specifically from Pacific Northwest farms. Our 4-pound linen bag has a drawstring, making these bags great for pantry storage. This fine ground pearled barley is sure to delight. Our gorgeous dried pearled barley cooks within twenty-five minutes with no prior soaking required. They have a mild, slightly nutty flavor and hold their shape when cooked. Pearled barley has a chewy texture and is full of fiber, iron, and other nutrients. We love the beautiful golden color showcased in this barley, not to mention its versatility in soups, stews, and other recipes. *This product ships SAME DAY with UPS Ground.
