Frequently Asked Questions

“Tong-bori” is a Korean term that refers to whole or regular-sized pearled barley grains. It is commonly used in traditional Korean cuisine, especially for barley rice (bori-bap) and barley tea. The grains are polished just enough to remove the outer husk while still retaining much of their natural texture and nutritional value, making them ideal for everyday meals.
Yes, this barley is perfect for making barley water, a traditional and refreshing drink. To prepare it, simply boil the grains in water, allow them to simmer until the liquid takes on a light golden color, and then strain. The resulting drink is mild, slightly nutty, and often enjoyed chilled as a hydrating beverage.
Pearled barley is more polished than pressed or rolled barley, meaning some of the outer bran layer has been removed. This gives it a softer texture and shorter cooking time, but slightly less fiber compared to whole or minimally processed barley. It is ideal for those who prefer a smoother, more refined grain in soups and side dishes.
On the stovetop, pearled barley typically takes around 25–35 minutes to cook. It should be simmered in plenty of water until tender but still slightly chewy. Soaking it for a few hours beforehand can reduce cooking time and improve texture, but it is not essential.
A general ratio is 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of pearled barley. For soups, you can add more water depending on the desired consistency. Always simmer gently and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Yes, it is one of the best grains for soups and stews. It not only adds a pleasant chewy texture but also naturally thickens the broth as it cooks, creating a richer and more comforting dish.
No, barley naturally contains gluten. It is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Always check dietary requirements before consumption.
Yes, pearled barley cooks well in a rice cooker. Use the same water ratio as stovetop cooking and select a standard rice or grain setting. It’s a convenient, hands-free method that delivers consistent results.
Yes, pearled barley contains dietary fiber that supports digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. While it has slightly less fiber than whole barley, it is still a nutritious grain that can support balanced eating habits.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For longer shelf life and freshness, refrigeration is recommended after opening, especially in warmer climates.
Yes, it blends very well with rice, lentils, and other grains. Mixing it with rice is a common practice in many cultures to improve texture, flavor, and nutritional value while keeping meals light and balanced.
