Egg barley, also known as “tarhonya” in Hungarian cuisine, is a type of small, pasta-like grain made from a simple mixture of flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Popular in Central and Eastern European dishes, it is typically toasted before cooking, giving it a nutty flavor and firm texture. Egg barley is a versatile base for hearty stews, soups, or served as a side dish. Nutritionally, it provides a good amount of carbohydrates, making it a reliable energy source, but it is relatively low in fiber and lacks the nutrients found in whole grains. While egg barley contains protein from added eggs, it may be more calorie-dense than traditional rice or pasta due to the additional fat content. For a balanced diet, consider pairing egg barley with vegetables and lean protein to round out its nutritional profile.
