Talbina is a barley porridge- recommended to us by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It’s a simple healthy breakfast porridge consisting of barley flour and milk.This healthy breakfast is nourishing and quick to make. It takes less than 5 minutes to prep and it’s healthy!A warming porridge, Talbina is ideal for Ramadan, which can be served in many ways but remains low in potassium and low in phosphate. It is traditionally served for suhoor.The cooked grains of barley have a chewy, gummy candy like texture more or less like tapioca or boba pearls.You could make your own variations of Talbina. Either blend the cooked barley coarsely and add more whole / skimmed milk to make a drink or eat the cooked barley as a hot cereal for breakfast. Add chopped almonds, raisins, bananas or berries as toppings or flavour it with cardamom/cinnamon powder etc. But for sweetening it, use only natural ingredients such as honey or dates and no added sugar.This dish is best served fresh, however it can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a saucepan with some extra water.

You can use all water or all milk in porridge if you prefer for the liquids and of course any toppings you like, these are just some starter ideas

I had a craving for snacks made with barley flour! These are addictive.I like these sweet, so I added the same amount of honey as barley (60 g each). The dough will probably come together without the hot water, but if it doesn't, add a little hot water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Recipe by Kobashi-

One pound of unhulled barley grain make 6 pounds of fresh green sprouts in a week, 12 pounds in two weeks, indoors in a mason jar or in a raingutter piece in your garage or shed, or outside on wood. A baby wading pool works well too. Outside growing takes longer.You can grow 6 to 12 pounds of fresh sprouts from 2 cups of dry barley grains. You can have a sprout salad every day, bake sprouted barley bread, and have sprout and avocado cheese sandwiches.We also use sprouted barley to feed our chickens, our geese, our piglet, our lambs and our horses. If you give them hay and a mat of fresh sprouted barley side by side, they will eat the barley sprouts first. There is an old farmers trick in keeping mold out of of sprouting barley: we mix a spoonfull of sunflower seeds with the barley grains, water spray the seeds twice a day on a wood surface that drains, no mold.
