About Barley And Moong Dal Khichdi - Hakubaku Oomugi (Barley)

Thank you so much Plattershare and goIndiaOrganic. I received the product – Hakubaku Oomugi healthy and tasty barley grains. I'm excited to create innovative recipes using these organic products and provide product reviews for your BellyNirvana Plattershare program.

My second recipe for Plattershare and @goIndiaOrganic is Barley and Moong Dal Khichdi, made with Hakubaku Oomugi (barley). "Oomugi" is Japanese for barley, and it is clean and white like rice, with a taste and aroma that closely resemble rice, making it a great choice for daily meals.

I used this Oomugi because it contains 12 times more dietary fiber, three times more calcium, and twice the vitamin B2 than white rice. "Hakubaku" means white barley, like rice.

Here’s an easy way to add a healthy accompaniment to your main course. Barley has been used to boost the fiber content. Ever thought of making khichdi with barley? Try it once, and you’ll want to make it again and again.

Made with barley and a variety of vegetables, this colorful and attractive dish offers a crunchy texture and a soothing flavor from simple ingredients like cumin seeds and green chilies.

This satisfying dish is packed with antioxidants that help fight free radicals, boost immunity, and provide abundant fiber to cleanse your system and aid in weight loss. Enjoy the Barley Khichdi hot and fresh.
