Sanmaru Glutinous Barley Rice 800g

Glutinous barley rice, known as chalboribap (찰보리밥) in Korean, is a type of whole grain barley prized for its uniquely chewy and sticky texture when cooked. This Korean grain is distinct from common barley, offering a slightly sweet, nutty flavour and a satisfying mouthfeel that complements other ingredients. It is an excellent way to add fibre and nutrients to your daily meals, often mixed with white rice to create a more wholesome and texturally interesting base for various dishes. To prepare, simply mix it with your regular short-grain rice—a common ratio is one part barley to two parts rice—and cook in a rice cooker as usual. No special preparation is needed. This grain is a staple in Korean households for making nutritious and delicious multi-grain rice bowls, known as japgokbap (잡곡밥), and is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their home-cooked Asian meals.
