Etymology
The word 'hulled' comes from the Old English term 'hyll', which means 'a covering or protective layer'. Over time, it has evolved in English to specifically refer to the action of removing the protective outer layer from seeds and grains. The practice of hulling has ancient roots, linked to agriculture and food preparation, as early humans began to cultivate and consume grains. The importance of hulling has increased with the advent of food processing technology, allowing for a more extensive range of edible products. In modern contexts, hulling plays a significant role in the health food movement, where whole grains are often preferred for their nutritional benefits.
