What is White Pearl Barley, and Why is it Special?
White pearl barley comes from whole-grain barley seeds. It is polished to remove the tough outer shell and some bran but still keeps a lot of its original structure and nutrients. Al Noor’s Whole White Pearl Barley is quick-cooking and rich in fibre and minerals.
This barley has a mild nutty smell, a chewy yet soft texture, and enhances many dishes without overpowering their flavours. It works well in soups, stews, baked dishes, and grain bowls, making it a versatile ingredient.
The 75g pack is perfect for small families, health enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to try barley in their cooking without buying a large quantity. Barley is one of the oldest cultivated grains, showing its lasting value in many cultures and cuisines.

How to Cook Al Noor White Pearl Barley Whole
Adding barley to your meals is simple. Just follow these steps for great results each time:
- Rinse the grains with cold water to wash away starch and dust.
- Optional: Soak for 2–4 hours to cook faster and make them easier to digest.
- Use 1 part barley to 3 parts water (or broth) and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes until tender.
- Drain any extra liquid and fluff the grains before serving.
Toast the grains a bit before boiling to enhance their nutty flavour. Add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaf to the cooking water for more taste.
