What it is

Dehulled barley is a whole grain that has had its tough outer hull removed, but retains the bran and germ. It is a variety of barley, a cereal grain cultivated for thousands of years. The dehulled grain is then typically processed further, such as pearling or rolling, for use in food products.

Why it's used

Dehulled barley is used as a whole grain ingredient, adding texture and nutritional value to foods. It can be found in cereals, baked goods, and savory dishes like pilafs and soups. Manufacturers use it to provide fiber and a hearty, nutty flavor.

Health notes

Dehulled barley is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of dietary fiber, which may support digestive health. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated barley and its components. Evidence suggests that barley may contribute to heart health and blood sugar management as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Barley is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. However, barley contains gluten and is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
