What is Tsampa?
Tsampa is the traditional food of the Tibetan people. Whole grain hull-less barley is roasted to 'pop' or 'crack' over fire, then is stone ground. Since it is already cooked, one simply mixes the tsampa with hot tea, water, milk or soup.
What Tsampa is not
Tsampa is not raw barley flour, or barley flour which has been roasted.
The process of making real tsampa creates a very nutritious, digestible, yummy, instant, portable food.
Nutritional qualities of tsampa
• Low glycemic index – tsampa is recommend for diabetics due to its highly soluble fiber and protein content.
• High in protein
• Good source of thiamine, selenium, manganese and iron.
• Some people who are gluten intolerant can tolerate tsampa. Barley gluten is different than wheat gluten.
