Today, Metok will take you to explore the table culture in Gyantse, Xizang. The delicious food made of highland barley here will definitely widen your horizon. Gyantse has been called the “hometown of highland barley” since ancient times. The golden and crisp fried and stir-fried highland barley is always a common dessert on the dining table of natives of Gyantse; and the milk residue cake mainly made of highland barley flour and milk residue are traditional Tibetan snacks that every family can make.

In recent years, the assistance project from Shanghai has brought unprecedented development opportunities to Gyantse. With the advanced concepts and technical support of Shanghai, the people of Gyantse have been innovating in the highland barley industry. They developed a series of new highland barley products, such as highland barley kernels with black truffle flavor, highland barley popcorn, and highland barley coffee. These innovative products not only enrich the brand connotation of highland barley in Gyantse, but also bring this delicious food from the snow-covered plateau to the market in the whole country.
