SWMBO is making dinner and her recipe requires barley. Can she use 2 row? I have a ton but unmilled...

It might be a bit husky

Just think of it as added fiber in your diet.

You can go over it with a roller pin if you're just wanting to crack it open. Not sure what you're going for, but that will crack it

Barley used for brewing is malted barley. If that's what her recipe is asking for, then yes, otherwise no. Only recipes that I've seen call for hulled unmalted barley, but I don't cook much.

Most cooking recipes use "pearl barley"- a totally different thing. The husk and bran are removed.
