Barley flour can be added into almost any recipe, particularly your favorite bread recipe! Whole-grain Flour can last a long time if stored properly. It will fare best in an airtight container stored in a cool dark location. Whole-grain flours contain all three parts of the grain (A.K.A. Berry); the bran, germ and endosperm, making them high in fiber and nutrition but also prone to spoiling faster since the bran and germ contain oils that ruin the flavor when they oxidize. **Manufactured on equipment that also produces wheat products Review: The Black Nile flours flavor is beyond words, but I wish it was more affordable. - First bake with Barley Flour and my eyes rolled into the back of my head with the fantastic flavor with this flour. I am a true whole grain artisan sourdough baker by heart, and I love wholegrain style Wheat and Rye sourdough loaves. I never baked any loaves using Barley flour so I figured that I would try it. I followed my instincts and went with an organic white flour 500gr. and 100gr. of the barley flour 90gr. starter. I went with a 75% bakers' ratio. The dough worked as expected but I noticed toward the final stages that the hydration was a little higher than I liked. The Barley and white flours really absorbed a lot more moisture than was needed, but after it proofed in the fridge overnight, I baked it and it came out nice with a descent rise. After it cooled and was cut, I tried it with butter and I was elated by the flavor. The loaf had an earthy sweet (I used a tsp. of black strap molasses in the recipe) and could not be happier with the quality and flavor that I received using this flour. I cannot wait to try the barley flour with rye and cut the hydration down on the next loaf. Overall, the Black Nile flour is fantastic, and the flavor is beyond words, but I wish it was more affordable. UPDATE: 2/14/26 Sourdough Rye/Barley onion Rye loaf. Flavor was exceptional and working the dough was as expected. Review: Dark and fresh flour - Good and fresh flour. Makes a nice flavorful loaf of bread. Add gluten or zantham gum if you prefer less dense loaf. Makes a dark colored loaf. ## Features - Black Nile Barley is an Ancient grain of the Fertile Crescent - Barley naturally has high antioxidant levels of anthocyanin. - Grown in the U.S.A. by 5th generation family farmers. - Ground, packaged and sent out directly from our farm - no middle man. - 100% Whole Grain Black Nile Barley Flour - Certified U.S.D.A.
