Is hulless barley considered whole grain? 

Hulless barley refers to another type of barley that is used for human food. Hulless barley differs from other types of barley in that the inedible hull or covering is loosely adhered to the kernel. 

Usually this loose outer covering falls off of the kernel during harvesting which means that the barley requires minimal pearling, leaving the bran layer as well as the germ and endosperm intact. 

For this reason, hulless barley is always considered whole grain.

 Hulless barley is currently in limited supply; however, it is likely that more food products will be made from this type of barley in the future.
