About Roasted highland barley flour

Roasted highland barley flour is flour milled from barley that has been roasted before grinding. It is usually tan to brown, with a toasted aroma and a dry, fine or slightly granular texture. Its flavour is nutty and roasted, distinguishing it from flour made from unroasted barley or from other grains.

It is used in the Tibetan food known as tsampa and may be mixed with liquid or other ingredients for eating. Roast level, milling fineness and whether the barley is hulled or pearled can vary. The flour is a processed grain product, not interchangeable with cooked barley or unroasted barley flour.
