An excellent choice. A popular instant porridge. Why, you ask? Because of its ingredients and natural character. We gently heat-treat the grains in advance so they don’t need to be cooked, and the porridge is ready in just a few minutes. However, they retain their nutritional value. The base of this porridge is barley and oats, with the flavor rounded out by whole-grain spelt and natural rice. Combining them creates a tasty and nutritionally rich food.

As usual, you won’t find milk, added sugar, or any other flavorings in the ingredients. Just grains.

You can prepare Nomina barley porridge exactly the way you like it. It’s unflavored, so you choose which additional ingredients or sweeteners you want or can use.

You choose what to sweeten it with and how sweet it will be. It’s suitable for both sweet and savory dishes. It’s nutritious, filling, and easy to digest. You can prepare the porridge at home, when visiting friends, or even on the go. Basically, anywhere you have Nomina instant barley porridge on hand.

A few tips:

You can mix the porridge with hot milk, your favorite plant-based milk (coconut, almond, rice, etc.), or, for example, yogurt mixed with water.
Use about three to four times the amount of hot liquid and "fine-tune" the consistency to your liking. Keep in mind that the porridge will swell and thicken within 3–5 minutes.
Sweetening? You can sweeten it with honey or a sweet plant-based syrup (grain, maple, chicory, etc.). But the milk already has a slightly sweet taste.
All kinds of fruit go well with the porridge, preferably fresh, but dried fruit works well too.
A little spice can be a nice touch. Cinnamon and star anise are classics, but you can also try a pinch of cloves and other spices.
Yogurt or crumbly cottage cheese provides protein.
Don’t forget seeds and nuts.
For those with a sweet tooth, you can add high-quality chocolate or homemade jam.
Or try something completely different. Thick porridge can also be prepared as a savory dish. In this case, herbs, garlic, mushrooms, Parmesan, onions, or avocado are better choices.

This porridge is a blend of highly nutritious grains. Barley forms the base. This crop has been a staple of the human diet for centuries. It is known that barley porridge was a staple food for gladiators in ancient times. This was undoubtedly due to its nutritional properties, even though they didn’t call it that back then.

Another ingredient is oats. The fiber in both barley and oats consists of a balanced ratio of soluble and insoluble components. A significant portion of the soluble component is the polysaccharide beta-glucan, which is highly valued for its positive effects on the body.

Spelt wheat is also used in the porridge in its whole-grain form. Therefore, the porridge is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, i.e., the energy necessary for our performance. These carbohydrates also contribute to maintaining normal brain function. The porridge is also a rich source of fiber, an essential component of a healthy diet.

Despite its undeniable qualities, the porridge IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH CELIAC DISEASE OR ON A GLUTEN-FREE DIET.
