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.
