Purple Barley
You get over 1 ounce of seeds from this heirloom hulless purple barley variety!
Hordeum vulgare.
Great in soups, whole grain salads, or try as a substitute for arborio rice in risotto.
Purple barley is hulless, meaning that the hull falls off naturally during harvest ensuring the bran and germ remain. The result is edible, whole grain barley.
We recommend lightly toasting barley in a dry pan until it begins to pop or smell like toast. Then cook just like brown rice. You end up with a fairly firm texture with a delightful rich nutty flavor.
This variety is 6 row, and is less prone to lodging than Tibetan and other purple hulless barleys, which it may have been selected from. Best sown in spring, 8-12 in spacing. Germination 3-7days
