Being a 90-year-old who emphasizes on health care, Job's tears have always been a regular ingredient in my home. Whether it is to do barley red bean porridge or simple barley water, it can bring me that freshness and health. But you know what? The quality of barley has a close relationship with the place of origin. Today, I will share with you the TOP list of barley origins in my mind!
1, Ninghua, Fujian
Whenever I mention Job's Tears, the first thing that comes to my mind is Ninghua, Fujian. The barley there is really the essence of all grains! The porridge is glutinous and fragrant. I once had the honor to taste the local fresh Job's Tears, the taste and texture is really incomparable to other Job's Tears on the market. Ninghua Job's Tears is truly the "Hometown of China Job's Tears".
2, Xingren, Guizhou
Xingren, Guizhou Job's tears, give me the biggest feeling is "real". Each grain is full, weight. Cooked out of the porridge, not only taste mellow, but also very high nutritional value. I once in order to buy authentic Job's tears, specially entrusted a friend from Guizhou to send, that kind of dedication to food, now think about it is worth it!
3, Fujian Pucheng
Pucheng's Job's Tears is a treasure I occasionally find in the supermarket. Its particles are not as big as those of Ninghua, but the porridge is unusually delicate. The feeling that it melts in your mouth really makes you want to eat it. Every time I make congee with Pucheng Job's Tears, it gets rave reviews from my family.
In fact, every place has its own unique features of Job's tears. But in my mind, the barley from Ninghua, Fujian, Xingren, Guizhou and Pucheng, Fujian is undoubtedly the best. Of course, everyone's taste is different, I just shared my personal feelings. If you have the opportunity, you may also want to try the barley from these places, there may be unexpected surprises!
