Culinary Q & A

Q:  Where can I find barley in the supermarket? 

A:   Pearl barley is readily available in most major supermarkets and may be found next to dry beans, rice and lentils.  Pearl barley, barley flakes and barley flour may also be found in the bulk foods sections of some supermarkets.  Barley flakes and flour are used as major ingredients in many prepared products.  An excellent source of dietary fiber as well as several key vitamins and minerals, barley contributes plenty of nutrition to prepared cereals, soups and more. Look for barley in hot and ready-to-eat cereals, canned soups, multigrain pasta, heat and eat multigrain entrees, snack bars, crackers and multigrain pilaf mixes.
