About
Pearl barley consists of polished barley grains that pack about 6.9 ounces (196 g) into a standard cup.
Pearl barley has a typical bulk density of about 52 pounds per cubic foot (0.83 g/mL), meaning one US cup holds roughly 6.9 ounces (196 grams). Because the milling process strips away the fibrous outer hull and polishes off the bran, the smooth, rounded grains settle tightly together in a container. This close packing makes pearl barley take up far less space than airy grains like rolled oats, matching the density of dry lentils.
From Wikipedia
Pearl barley, or pearled barley, is barley that has been processed to remove its fibrous outer hull and polished to remove some or all of the bran layer.
