Klas is a Bosnian grain and food producer working in the flour, grain, and pantry categories, and the pearl barley represents one of the most universally used traditional grains of the Eastern European and Balkan kitchen — the gersla or jecam that appears in the classic jecmena corba (barley soup), the Russian perlovaya kasha (pearl barley porridge), and the Polish krupnik (barley soup) as the grain staple that has fed Central and Eastern European households through centuries of traditional cooking. Pearl barley (jecam biser, gersla) is the milled and polished form of barley in which the outer husk and most of the bran have been removed, producing the smooth, plump, off-white kernel that cooks to a soft, slightly chewy consistency and absorbs the flavours of the broth or liquid it cooks in — the grain that thickens soups naturally and provides a satisfying neutral grain base for both savoury and sweet preparations. Use in hearty soups and stews as the Balkan barley grain, cook as the savoury grain side dish in the Eastern European porridge tradition, incorporate into vegetable or meat barley soup in the regional tradition, or keep in the pantry as the Klas Gersla pearl barley in the 850g household-size bag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Klas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49079333880036,"sku":"PAN-KLAS-850G","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/4093\/3348\/files\/hero_a8edd4f9-2294-46ca-90d6-e18ba3e316c1.png?v=1789161334","url":"https:\/\/hamiltoneuromarkets.com\/products\/klas-gersla-pearl-barley-850g-1-9lb-3870004006127","provider":"Hamilton Euromarket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
