Soul of the High Plateau

Naked Barley Flour (उवाको पिठो)

Cultivated in the extreme, wind-swept landscapes of Karnali and Dolpo, Naked Barley (Uwa) is one of the most sacred sustenance crops of the Himalayas. Unlike common barley, the hull of Uwa falls away naturally at harvest, requiring no abrasive mechanical peeling.

This means 100% of the nutrient-dense germ, bran, and endosperm remain intact. Our flour is stone-milled to create an authentic texture that honors centuries-old Himalayan baking traditions.

Key Health Benefits

Extreme Fiber Density: Keeps hunger satisfied for hours while supporting a healthy colon and lower cholesterol.
High Satiety & Sustained Stamina: A staple trusted by high-altitude travelers and Sherpas for unyielding physical energy.
Low Glycemic Footprint: Helps maintain flat blood sugar curves after meals.
