Tom Yum, a hot and sour soup from Thailand with super punchy flavours, pairs well with our pearled barley or pearled spelt, both also available from Holland & Barrett stores across the UK and online. |
Pearled grains are polished to remove the outer hull and some of the bran, making them quicker to cook and softer in texture. Pearled barley and spelt both make excellent British-grown alternatives to white rice and have significantly higher levels of fibre and protein.
Rice production can produce large amounts of greenhouse gasses. Microbes that feed off decaying plant matter in flooded rice paddies produce methane, estimated to make up 8% of all global methane emissions from human activity. The rice straw left after harvesting is often burned off, further adding to the emissions.
This recipe was created in collaboration with Borough Broth and Dr. Wills to highlight our work with Holland and Barrett.

This cake is pure comfort from a tin! Made with kibbled naked barley, it takes inspiration from the creamy warmth of porridge and transforms it into something richer, denser and custardy.

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.
