Product Information

Midlands provides bulk supply of Pearl Barley as a food ingredient for your business. As an established company producing a wide variety of arable foods, we are proud of the quality of our bulk supply Pearl Barley we deliver to businesses for the international market.

Pearl Barley is barley that has had its hull and bran removed. The outer shell is fibrous and must be removed before consumption. Used mainly in soups and stews, it is the most common form of barley for human consumption because it cooks faster and is less chewy than other, less-processed forms of the grain such as hulled barley. Pearl Barley colour ranges from tan for lightly pearled barley to white heavily pearled barley. Pearl barley is similar to wheat in its caloric, protein, vitamin and mineral content. Although it is technically a refined grain, it’s much healthier than other refined grains because the fibre is present in the kernel as well as the hull.

We grow our cereals on the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand. Our latitude, pristine air quality, consistent water supply for irrigation, and exceptional soil types allow us to produce superior seeds.

Our quest for quality and a competitive edge is ongoing to ensure that our products meet the highest international standards. With quality assurance programmes that maintain control at every point along the production process.

Our extensive investment in research and breeding programmes ensures we produce cereals with the best genetics, maximising quality, size, and yield. Our agronomy experts then maintain a watchful eye over crops from the planted seed through to harvest, providing the right growing advice and maintaining best practice to improve seed quality.

From planted seed to final product, we have complete traceability. Our plant-based production focus ensures we give back to the environment. Carefully planning crop rotations to improve soil health and biodiversity and producing only what is needed to balance the requirements of the land. Our cereals are produced in a responsible and environmentally way.

Frequently asked questions

Pearl Barley FAQ's

Welcome to our FAQ section, where we answer the most common questions about our products and their uses. From nutritional benefits to processing tips, we aim to provide clear, practical information to help you make informed decisions—whether you’re a food manufacturer, distributor, or ingredient buyer.

What is the difference between barley and pearl barley?

Barley is the whole grain. Pearl barley has had the hull and bran layers polished off, making it quicker to cook and ideal for soups, salads, and processed foods.

Is pearl barley good for you?

Yes. Pearl barley is rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. While it contains slightly less fibre than whole barley, it is still a nutritious grain.
