Naked Barley Flakes make perfect porridge - just substitute them for rolled oats in your favourite porridge recipe. We like to add a couple of tablespoons of Chia Seeds too. Here's our simple porridge recipe… |
The nutty, malty flavour of Naked Barley Flakes makes for a tasty and sustaining porridge.
Naked barley flakes provide a very nutritious breakfast. They're a rich source of complex carbohydrates, particularly beta-glucan soluble fibre which has been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels. They have a high protein level too, often 15% more protein than normal barley, and a low glycemic index.
For an extra boost of flavour and nutrition, why not add a couple of tablespoons of our British chia seeds to your porridge?

The most enjoyable porridge ever. The perfect comfort food for me, with the added pleasure of knowing it’s sustainably grown, and good for the gut.
30g naked barley flakes, 75ml fresh whole milk, 125ml water simmered gently until the liquid evaporated and served with a plum & honey compote for breakfast and it was gorgeous. All locally sourced. Reminded me of the porridge my mother cooked when I was much younger.
Really enjoyed this barley flake porridge and made a variation on it, using coconut milk – delicious.
