What it is
Roasted Dalia Split is a wholesome grain product made from cracked and roasted wheat. The roasting process gives it a distinct nutty aroma and flavor, setting it apart from raw cracked wheat.

This product is carefully processed to ensure quality and consistency for everyday cooking.
How people cook with it
This roasted grain is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for both sweet and savory preparations.
- Breakfast porridge
- Savory upma
- Pilaf base
- Soup thickener
To prepare Roasted Dalia Split, rinse the grains thoroughly under cold water. For a porridge, combine the rinsed dalia with water or milk in a pot, bringing it to a boil before simmering until tender and the liquid is absorbed. For savory dishes like upma or pilaf, sauté aromatics such as onions and spices before adding the dalia and liquid, cooking until fluffy. It can also be added to soups to provide body and a pleasant chewiness. Adjust liquid amounts based on desired consistency.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw cracked wheat, roasted dalia has a deeper, more complex flavor profile due to the toasting process. This roasting also contributes to a slightly firmer texture and a quicker cooking time compared to unroasted varieties. The nutty notes are more pronounced, adding an extra layer of taste to dishes.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store the remaining Roasted Dalia Split in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness, prevent moisture absorption, and keep away pantry pests. Proper storage ensures the grain remains flavorful and ready for your next culinary creation.
