Pot barley (also called Scotch barley) is minimally processed barley that has had only the tough outer hull removed, leaving most of the nutritious bran layer intact. This means you get significantly more fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to pearled barley, which has the bran polished away. The result is a wholesome grain with superior nutrition and a satisfying, slightly chewy texture that's not too tough.
