Pearl Barley vs. "Medium" barley

Posted by Amandarama, March 1, 2009

So, in a fit of impulsivity I slapped down $1.19 for a bag of barley. However, there's no cooking instructions on it. It is labeled "medium barley". I suspect that this means it is unhulled? All the barley recipes I seem to run across call for pearl barley. How much longer will I need to cook this than pearl barley?
