Frequently Asked Questions

No, soaking is not necessary. The pressing process breaks down the outer structure of the grain, allowing it to cook quickly and absorb water efficiently. A simple rinse under running water before cooking is enough to remove any surface dust.
Yes, pressed barley and rolled barley are essentially the same product. The grains are steamed and then flattened between rollers to create thinner flakes that cook faster than whole or hulled barley.
No, both sizes contain the exact same premium-quality, California-grown organic pressed barley. The only difference is the quantity, making the larger size more economical for frequent use or bulk storage.
For best results, use approximately 2 to 2½ cups of water or broth for every 1 cup of pressed barley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10–15 minutes until tender. Adjust liquid depending on your preferred texture.
