Frequently Asked Questions

Job's Tears is another common name for Coix Seed, also known as adlay or Chinese pearl barley in some markets. It is a traditional grain that has been used for generations in various Asian cuisines. The grains can be cooked and enjoyed like other whole grains, added to soups and porridges, or roasted and prepared as a traditional grain-based tea.
Yes, Coix Seed is naturally gluten-free. Despite sometimes being called "Chinese pearl barley," it is not the same grain as barley and does not naturally contain gluten. However, individuals with celiac disease or severe food allergies should check the product packaging for allergen and cross-contact information before consumption.
Soaking is recommended, especially when preparing whole Coix Seed. Soak the grains in water for approximately 4–8 hours or overnight before cooking. This helps soften the kernels, allows them to cook more evenly, and can reduce the overall cooking time. Drain and rinse the soaked grains before adding fresh water for cooking.
Yes. Coix Seed can be lightly roasted and simmered in water to make a naturally mild, nutty grain tea. To prepare it, lightly toast the dry grains until fragrant, then simmer them in water for approximately 10–15 minutes. Strain the liquid and enjoy it warm or chilled. This traditional preparation offers a different way to enjoy Coix Seed beyond cooking.
This product contains 2lbs (approximately 907 g) of organic Coix Seed, providing a generous supply for multiple cooking and tea preparations. The 2lbs size is convenient for households that regularly use Coix Seed in soups, porridges, grain dishes, or homemade tea.
Cooked Coix Seed has a mild, slightly nutty flavor with a pleasantly chewy texture. Its subtle taste makes it easy to combine with vegetables, beans, rice, soups, and other grains without overpowering the rest of the dish. When roasted for tea, it develops a warmer and more pronounced toasted aroma.

Excellent Quality.

Excellent quality. Some folks reference a musty smell with this and other brands. I was taught to always rinse and pick out the dark or black seeds - these are the ones that cause the off smell and taste. If removed, your dish will taste great.

Good texture, chews like barley

Some say they smell musty - that is simply the smell of raw seeds. Job's Tears have a slightly bitter taste and taste just like they smell. I add them to soups, which is fine, or eat them like cereal with cinnamon, monk fruit sweetener and milk. For cooking, I soak them several hours in salt water, drain and rinse, then put them in my rice cooker. They chew like barley.

Nice product at a good price

These have been more difficult to find at my local retailers lately, so I decided to make this purchase. This was exactly what I was expecting and I hope they will be around when it's time to get them again.

Mild flavor

I use this as a breakfast cereal or in place of barley in recipes. The flavor is mild so anything can be added to it. Overall the flavor is most like cooked oats.

Fresh, excellent coix seed

The vacuum sealed product arrived undamaged. Pleased to see the expiration date is a year out. No rancid or off smell. Rinse water was clean. Clean flavor. Will definitely order again, even though the price is a bit high.
