About Whole grain barley flakes

Whole-grain barley flakes are flattened barley kernels, generally steamed or otherwise conditioned before rolling. They are flat, cream to tan, and may have a chewy texture when cooked, with a mild, somewhat malty grain flavour.

They are commonly cooked as porridge or added to soups, breads, and cereal mixtures. Flake thickness and processing can vary, affecting cooking time and texture. These flakes are distinct from pearled barley, barley groats, and barley flour.
