FAQ
A: Barley flour is exceptionally rich in beta-glucan fiber which helps lower cholesterol, supports heart health, aids in blood sugar regulation, and promotes digestive wellness. It's also high in antioxidants and essential minerals like selenium and manganese.
A: Yes, Jav flour makes nutritious rotis. For best results, mix it with wheat flour in a 1:1 ratio for better texture and taste. Pure barley rotis are also traditional but may be denser in texture.
A: Yes, barley flour has a low glycemic index and the beta-glucan fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it excellent for diabetics. However, consult your healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice.
A: The beta-glucan fiber in barley flour forms a gel-like substance in the digestive tract that binds to cholesterol and helps remove it from the body, effectively lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
A: Yes, barley flour is excellent for baking. It works well in bread, muffins, and cookies. For best results, substitute up to 25-30% of regular flour with barley flour to maintain texture while adding nutrition.
A: High-altitude cultivation in clean mountain environments creates stress conditions that enhance the grain's nutritional density, particularly beta-glucan content. The cooler temperatures and pure air also contribute to superior quality.

A: Start gradually by mixing barley flour with familiar flours in small proportions (25% barley, 75% wheat). Gradually increase the ratio as your taste preferences and digestive system adapt to the higher fiber content.
