Pearled Wheat

Pearled wheat is a type of wheat (Triticum spp.) that has been processed to remove the outer husk or bran, giving it a smooth, polished appearance. This process makes pearled wheat quicker to cook than whole wheat, while still retaining much of its nutritional value. Pearled wheat has a mild, slightly nutty flavor and is used in a variety of dishes, including soups, salads, pilafs, and baked goods. It is often favored for its versatility, high fiber content, and ability to add texture and nutrition to various recipes.
