Barley products encompass a variety of items derived from barley grains, a versatile cereal grain known for its nutty flavor and nutritional benefits. Common barley products include pearl barley, which is hulled and polished, often used in soups, stews, and pilafs for its chewy texture and ability to absorb flavors. Barley flour, made from ground barley grains, is used in baking to add a hearty, slightly sweet taste to bread, muffins, and pancakes.
