pot vs pearled barley

I like this explanation: https://gobarley.com/pot-barley/

Summary of https://gobarley.com/pot-barley/  :

• Hulled barley: has all the bran.  But still has the "husk"/hull taken OFF, just like wheat grains.
• Pot barley: has most of the bran still on.
• Pearl(ed) barley: has hardly any bran left on it.

Wiki has a slightly different take:

• Hulled barley (or covered barley) is eaten after removing the inedible, fibrous, outer hull. Once removed, it is called dehulled barley (or pot barley or scotch barley).[49] Considered a whole grain, dehulled barley still has its bran and germ, making it a commonly consumed food. Pearl barley (or pearled barley) is dehulled barley which has been steam-processed further to remove the bran.[49] It may be polished, a process known as "pearling". Dehulled or pearl barley may be processed into various barley products, including flour, flakes similar to oatmeal, and grits."
