Pearl barley has seen it’s big revival recently, thanks to its crunchy texture and high nutritious value. It is most often cooked in soups or stocks, where it absorbs all the flavors from the liquid, which means that the taste of the grain depends on what it’s cooked in.

Almond meal is so easy to prepare. It is entirely possible that it is one of the most cost saving, gratifying and straightforward things you can do in the kitchen. In less than five minutes you can have an almond meal at a fraction of the cost of ready-made products. And all you need are almonds, flour sifter, and coffee bean grinder.
Almond meal is incredibly versatile in sweet and savory recipes and can provide your dishes with a delightful crunch and richness. We also think that almonds have one of the most incredible floral smells which open up the second you grind them. It’s preservative free, gluten-free (when made correctly) and packs a protein punch to keep that belly full longer.
However, there is one gripe with Almond Meal- and that is the price tag, as almonds are usually not the cheapest item in a grocery store. When processed into Meal or Flour the price only goes up. If you live in a small town, the Almond Meal isn’t always at your fingertips, which is why you should get into the habit of making your own.

In our experience, the coffee/nut grinder will give you best results, as you will end up with a fine powder that is very close in texture to shop-bought Almond Meal. [Read more…]
