Tsampa, made from a special variety of barley, is the main food of Tibetans. We eat Tsampa as dough, ground fine, moistened with tea and butter and kneaded in a ball. This is a nutritious, simply-prepared staple of our diet that travels easily. We also use Tsampa to make Tsamthuk - barley soup.
Our Tsampa is made from organic barley. After washing and drying the barley, we roast it in the traditional manner,in a "Langna" pan over high heat. The we pound it to remove the outer skin, and sift it to retain only the best part of the grain. We then grind it to a fine texture. We welcome you to try our delicious Tsampa!
