Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hi! Pressed barley is the only type of barley (besides hatomugi) that you can get in Japan. It's so hard to find in the US. It cooks up very fluffy -- my guess is that it's processed like pearled barley or like oatmeal...? It appears like it was stamped in some way (hence the name pressed!) > > I found some pressed barley at the Japanese grocery the other day. Has anyone used it? Does it cook differently?

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Oh yes, I have a big order list for cybermacro now. I just wish there was a local place...I'm like instant gratification Re: pressed barley? seigman wrote: I found some pressed barley at the Japanese grocery the other day.pressed barley? wow - tell us more! Has anyone used it? Does it cook differently? Is it horribly processed or really just pressed? I'm intrigued.me tooI just googled and foundBarley Flakes, Pressed Barley, or Rolled Barley have the appearance of rolled oats and are often included in muesli-type cereals. Since barley flakes are a favorite grain of the Japanese and Koreans, they can often be found at Asian markets as well as health food markets.http://www.vegparadise.com/highestperch410.html Now, if only I could get them to carry mitoku or oshawa products...Mitoku producs are wonderful - the quality is superb.you know you can order them online at cybermacro.comthere is such a great selectionwe can get some here in australia but not such a selection - yet. Still we have a good variety I just got a barrel of 10kg of their ume plums and they are so amazing - never seen plums like them - practically golf ball size and the taste!I also like their Kuzu kiri noodles and miso Ilanit Ms Ilanit TofB.A. (Psychophysiology/Psychology)Advanced Diploma Healing with WholefoodsPhD Holistic Nutrition (candidate)Little Tree Oriental Healing ArtsHelping you grow to new heights of wellbeingwith Oriental Traditions and Modern Nutritionilanit@...www.littletree.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 And wouldn't you know, I wanted hato mugi or even the tea and they didn't have that! (yet more things on my cybermacro list. LOL, , sounds like I'm aiming for that free shipping.) I have yet to cook up the pressed barley. I was a bit disturbed when I read the warning: This product packaged at a plant that processes peanuts, wheat and YELLOW DYE ?!?! We avoid all dyes and anything artificial and now I'm afraid I'm just going to have to trash it. I can't take the chance since my older boy is terribly sensitive to dyes Re: pressed barley? > Hi!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hey and all, a good time to order new, hint hint, as everything is in stock except dried tofu, the 200 yr old press used to make that broke, so there has been none for months from Japan. If you spend $300 or move, you can in most cases get free shipping on your order like was talking about. I really enjoy Hato Mugi Barley a lot, and it is liver time for this now! It is more expensive the Yuuki unrefined variety but it is my favorite kind of it. www.simply-natural.biz From: VeganMacrobiotics [mailto:VeganMacrobiotics ] On Behalf Of seigman Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 5:34 PM To: VeganMacrobiotics Subject: Re: Re: pressed barley?

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hey! That's wonderful. I was just on a few days ago and the Shitake Dashi concentrate was out and I was disappointed. Can you tell me about the Shitake Dashi concentrate? Have you used it? It's such an appealing time saver to me but I'm waivering. Re: pressed barley? > Hi!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi , I have not used it myself, but you are right, it would be a nice time saver to make a quick noodles or broth etc. You probably would not go wrong in trying it.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks Reggie! Well there is something new up at CyberMacro, 4 downloadable cookbooks by Marque. http://www.simply-natural.biz/ People seem to be going for the whole set of 4. Anyway she was amazing, I did a 5 day and intestinal cleanse last week with her supporting me and encouraging me throughout it. So if any of you are interested in food coaching, you would not go wrong in working with her! More details on that are there too. Well the cleanse was pretty interesting as with having the Candida, I had not had any fruit for months. A major part of the cleanse was just consuming fruit and vegetable juicers. I probably had enough orange juice last week as part of that to last a life time. At the end of the cleanse I definitely feel it made a big difference for myself.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Wow, that's cool. I'm glad you had a good cleansing experience. I'll look at the downloadables. What a good idea! Also, thanks for the tip re: food coaching. Will ponder this! Was it expensive? (Not like that really matters too much when healing is the ultimate and only goal).
