Roasted Barley - Cracked Or Whole?

[amarks5]

My LHBS sells a proprietary brand of crystal, caramunich, carapils, etc, which is all pre-cracked.

I've noticed that the same brand of roasted barley and black malt are packaged whole (uncracked).

Does this mean that roasted barley and black malt should be steeped whole and uncracked?

Cheers,

Tony
