Alissa's Spanish Rice

[pippin07]

I bought all the ingredients to make this recipe and was just about to start soaking my barley when I realized the recipe calls for unhulled barley and my package says the harder outer layers have been removed. I’m bummed! Do you think it will actually make any difference? Any idea why the recipe specifies unhulled? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance, Denise

Opps!! Nevermind. I misread. I got the right kind of barley :D
