Abstract
A waxy hull-less barley product is described having a moisture content of from 50-75%. The product is prepared by cooking the grains in water for 15-120 minutes at a temperature of 75-150° C. Next, the grains are rinsed with cool water to remove excess starch and stop the cooking process. The grains are then either dried or flash frozen to form a free-flowing product which may be directly eaten, rehydrated in 1-7 minutes in the case of dried grains, or reheated in 1-7 minutes in the case of flash frozen grains. Food products manufactured from the processed waxy hull-less barley are also disclosed.
