To prevent barley from getting mushy when cooked, it's important to rinse it thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. Use a ratio of 1 part barley to 3 parts water or broth, and avoid overcooking by following the recommended cooking time—typically around 30-40 minutes for hulled barley and about 15-20 minutes for pearl barley. Additionally, consider cooking it uncovered to allow steam to escape, which can help maintain its texture. Lastly, letting it rest for a few minutes after cooking can also help firm it up.
Cooked purple barley can be safely stored in the refrigerator for about 4 to 6 days. It's important to keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent any odor absorption. If you notice any off smells or changes in texture, it's best to discard it. For longer storage, consider freezing it, which can extend its shelf life to several months.
