Barley Flakes (25kg)

Barley flakes are rolled barley grains supplied in a bulk box for bakeries, cafes, restaurants and food manufacturers across the UK. Also sold as flaked barley, they cook faster than whole grain barley. They soften into a nutty, malty porridge or keep a chewy bite in bakes and granola. Buying wholesale gives UK kitchens a steady supply of one versatile cereal for breakfast menus, bread and production batches.

Key Features of Wholesale Barley Flakes

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Supplied as a wholesale pack for businesses that use barley flakes every week, from busy cafes to food production units.
• Trade Pricing: Buying in bulk at a trade price brings down the cost per portion on high-volume porridge, granola and bread lines.
• Flaked Form: The grain is rolled flat, so it takes up liquid quickly. It needs far less cooking time than whole barley, which helps on a busy breakfast service.
• Flavour and Texture: Barley flakes have a mild, nutty, malty taste and a chewier, firmer bite than rolled oats. This gives porridge and bakes more texture.
• Blends Easily: They mix well with oats, seeds, nuts and dried fruit. Overnight soaking in milk, water or yoghurt softens them for cold breakfast pots.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, away from strong odours. Reseal the pack after each use.
