Rolled barley - Oshimugi

Japanese: 押麦 - おしむぎ
Rolled barley - Oshimugi
Barley is polished and heated and pressed. It is used for food. Barley has deep grooves and a thick husk, making it relatively difficult to polish. For this reason, the polishing process is more complex and extensive than that of rice. The main steps are screening, polishing, grinding, and pressing. The yield rate of refined pressed barley from raw barley is about 50%. Barley that is cut at the grooves and polished and pressed is called white barley (cut barley), and barley with added vitamins B1 and B2 is called enriched polished barley. Pressing pressed barley is done by heating it with steam and pressing it with a roll, with the purpose of making it easier to digest when eaten. White barley with thin grooves is preferred on the market. Polished barley with added flavorings is also available in small quantities.

Japanese:
オオムギ (大麦)を精白して加熱圧扁したもの。食用に供する。大麦は条溝があってかなり深く,また外皮も厚いため精白は比較的困難である。このため精麦工程は米の搗精工程よりも複雑で大がかりである。主要な工程は精選,搗精,研磨,圧扁となる。原料大麦を精製された押麦にする場合の歩どまりは 50%程度である。麦を条溝の部分で切断して搗精,圧扁したものを白麦 (切断麦) ,またビタミン B1,B2 などを添加したものを強化精麦と呼ぶ。押麦の圧扁は蒸気で加熱したうえ,ロールで圧扁するが,これは食用時の消化を助けるのが目的である。市場では色の白いもの,条溝の細いものが好まれる。少量ながら香味料添加精麦も出回っている。
