GOLDEN LION Pearl Barley (Sanyi Mei / 生薏米) 250g is a premium, versatile pantry staple widely valued in traditional Chinese cooking and wellness practices. Locally known as Sanyi Mei (生薏米 / Raw Job's Tears), these heart-shaped, off-white grains feature a distinct dark-brown groove running along one side. Prized for its natural water-clearing properties, this raw barley serves as an exceptional nutritional base for slow-simmered herbal broths, sweet dessert drinks, and traditional summer wellness teas.

Raw Cooling Properties: According to traditional food theory, raw (Sanyi) barley carries a gentle "cooling" nature, making it the definitive choice for clearing dampness, cooling internal heat, and calming inflammation.
Firm & Nutty Texture: Possesses a hearty, distinctly fibrous outer shell that maintains a robust, pleasantly chewy, and al dente texture even after prolonged stove simmering.
Clean & Natural: Packed directly with no artificial bleaching agents, artificial food colorings, or added chemical preservatives.
100% Plant-Based: Naturally fat-free, cholesterol-free, and fully compatible with vegan and vegetarian dietary routines.

How to use?	Quick Preparation Guide Sort & Wash: Place the dry grains into a fine mesh strainer, rinse thoroughly under cool running water, and remove any stray husks. Soak: Soak the raw barley in room-temperature water for at least 1 to 2 hours prior to cooking; this softens the tough grain fibres and significantly cuts down stove-top boiling time. Simmer: Add to your cooking liquid, bring to a rolling boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes until the grains plump up, turn translucent white, and feel tender yet bouncy. Traditional Culinary Uses Classic Detox Water (薏米水): Simmered with water, candied winter melon, and fresh pandan leaves to create a highly refreshing, chilled summer wellness drink. Balanced Dual-Barley Tea: Frequently paired in equal ratios with 熟薏米 (Baked/Roasted Barley) to create a harmonised, digestive tea that balances raw cooling properties with warm, stomach-soothing comfort. Nutritious Herbal Soups: Tossed directly into savoury pork bone stews, chicken soups, or lotus root broths to impart a subtle, earthy flavour profile. Sweet Cantonese Dessert Soups: Combined with dried bean curd skins (Fuzhu) and ginkgo nuts for a velvety Cantonese sweet soup dessert (Tong Sui). Storage: Store the dry grains in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry pantry. Protect completely from humidity and ambient kitchen moisture.

Ingredient Identification

What is the difference between Raw Barley (生薏米) and Baked Barley (熟薏米)?
Raw barley (Sanyi Mei) is off-white, dense, slightly heavy, and carries a holistic "cooling" profile aimed at body detoxification. Baked barley (Shuizhi Mei) undergoes a puffing process that turns it crisp, white, light as popcorn, and mild on the stomach, making it ideal for daily digestion.
Is this the same as Western supermarket pearl barley?
While culinarily interchangeable in western stews, traditional Chinese Sanyi Mei is typically sourced from Job's Tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), whereas western pearl barley stems from common cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare). Job's Tears grains are larger, wider, and carry a more pronounced earthy flavour.

Dietary & Health

Is this product gluten-free?
No. While Job's Tears is technically a distinct grain seed, it belongs to the grass family and contains grain proteins that can trigger sensitivities. It is not certified gluten-free.
Why do people drink the cooking water?
In Chinese home remedies, the water used to boil raw barley is considered a highly potent herbal tonic. It is strained off, sweetened lightly with rock sugar, and drunk to relieve water retention, target bloating, and clear skin complexions.
