Flake

Barley flakes are steamed and rolled kernels, used like rolled oats for porridge, muesli, granola, and baking. They cook faster than whole grain and give a tender chew with mild malt flavour. Thickness varies by mill. Simmer as hot cereal, soak overnight for muesli, or fold into bread dough and cookies. They absorb liquid readily—adjust recipes from oat versions slightly. Keep sealed against moisture and pantry pests.
