Chewy, Nutty Noodles Crafted from 100% Korean Barley
In many Korean mountain towns, a bowl of barley noodles is the taste of clean air,
clear water and simple, honest food. 100% Barley Noodles 400g are
made with domestically grown barley and a touch of Korean salt – no wheat flour –
so you can experience the pure, toasty flavor of whole barley in every bite.
Produced by a 4th-generation family farm in Pyeongchang, these
noodles are part of a long tradition of turning local grains into everyday comfort
food. Barley is naturally rich in dietary fiber and contains a
type of soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which has been widely
studied for its role in supporting heart and metabolic health when enjoyed as part
of a balanced diet. Here, that nutrition comes in the form of noodles that feel
both rustic and modern at the same time.
From Pyeongchang Fields to Your Table
The barley used in these noodles is grown in the clean, cool climate of
Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, an area known for its highland grains.
Pyeongchang Farm manages the process from cultivation to processing and packaging,
focusing on clean ingredients, careful drying and consistent quality.
Because the noodles are made with 99.7% barley and 0.3% refined Korean salt,
without any blended wheat flour, the flavor is noticeably different from typical
wheat-based noodles. You get a gentle roasted grain aroma, a pleasantly chewy bite
and a clean, refreshing finish that pairs beautifully with light broths and simple
sauces.
Why These Barley Noodles Are Special
100% Barley-Based Noodles –
Made without wheat flour, so you can enjoy the original taste and texture of
Korean barley in noodle form.
High in Fiber by Nature –
Barley is known for its higher dietary fiber content compared to many other
grains, including a soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which helps bring a sense
of fullness and balance to meals when eaten regularly as part of a varied diet.
4th-Generation Pyeongchang Farm –
Grown and produced by a family that has carried on local agriculture for four
generations, focusing on honest, traceable production.
Distinctively Nutty & Light –
The noodles have a savory, nutty barley aroma, a pleasantly bouncy texture and a
clean aftertaste that makes them ideal for both hot and cold dishes.
Versatile for All Seasons –
Enjoy them chilled with a tangy sauce in summer, in a warm broth on cold days or
in mixed noodle bowls loaded with vegetables.
How to Cook 100% Barley Noodles
Because these noodles are made only with barley, they behave a little differently
from wheat noodles. A bit more water, gentle stirring and proper rinsing will give
you the best texture.
Fill a wide pot with plenty of water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Spread the noodles gently into the boiling water and stir well for the first
few minutes so the strands do not stick together.
Once the noodles have softened, you can lower or turn off the heat and let them
sit in the hot water for a few more minutes until they reach your preferred
texture.
Drain through a strainer and rinse thoroughly in cold or ice water 3–4 times to
remove excess starch and firm up the noodles. Avoid rubbing the noodles as you
rinse; simply wash them well.
Serve in a light broth, as a cold mixed noodle dish with vegetables and sauce,
or with your favorite toppings.
Tip: The water used to cook the barley noodles develops a mild grain aroma.
Instead of discarding it, you can use it as a base for stews or soups, or allow it
to cool and use it as a gentle cleaning water for dishes to help reduce detergent
use.
