BIO PEARL BARLEY 5 Kg

🌱 Organic and 100% Italian | ♻️ Eco-friendly Value Pack Oltresole organic pearled barley, in the 5 kg value pack, is a 100% Italian grain characterized by the removal of bran and husks through pearling, which speeds up cooking and makes it highly digestible. 🧘Easily digestible grain A valuable source of soluble and insoluble fiber, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3), and vitamin E, as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, pearl barley supports bowel regularity, contributes to cardiovascular health, and helps control abdominal bloating. 💧No soaking required | 🍲 Perfect for soups and broths After briefly rinsing under running water, the barley should be cooked in boiling water, plant-based milk, or broth (1:2 ratio) for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally until completely absorbed. Alternatively, it can be steamed or baked for different consistencies. Thanks to its neutral and delicate flavor, it is ideal for soups, minestrone, cream soups, and orzotto—a variation of risotto enriched with seasonal vegetables, legumes, or mushrooms—but it works equally well in cold summer salads paired with tomatoes, cucumbers, chickpeas, and fresh cheeses, or in vegetarian meatballs mixed with spinach, ricotta, or pumpkin.
