Organic Rolled Barley Flakes

Barley
Flakes are not as tender as oat flakes. May be used as oat flakes
(or combined with them) with chewier results. May be added to soups
and cooked gruels.
This flaked
grain is produced through a few processes. First it is dehulled. It
is then hydrated (usually through steaming). Next it is gently and
briefly heated before passing through a rolling mill. Before
packaging it is thoroughly cooled. This processing stabilizes the
grain, meaning the enzymes are neutralized to prevent oxidation and
rancidity. The heating transforms the starches to more simple
sugars, making them more easily digested.
