THERE`S BARLEY , POT BARLEY AND PEARL BARLEY

BARLEY......Is one of the oldest cultivated cereals , Hordeum vulgare , with a seed similar in size to rice.
Barley on its own is not suitable for bread making since it contains little gluten. Barley is sometimes used in soups , as an addition to the broth  , occasionally used to make meal or a flour and used in the fermentation process in the alcohol industry .

POT BARLEY ..... Has had the outer inedidle husk removed by a process of steaming and tumbling called pearling .

PEARL BARLEY .......Softens more quickly than pot barley as the pearling process is extended , removing the hull as well as the bran layer ..
