Nutrition experts remind that when washing barley, you should be careful to wash it gently with cold water first, and do not rub it hard. Because barley is tough and difficult to cook, it needs to be soaked for 2-3 hours before cooking. The water used to soak the rice should be cooked with the rice and cannot be thrown away, so as to avoid the loss of nutrients in the barley during soaking.
