What is Adlai? Just like corn and rice, adlai belongs to the grass family with its long stalks that primarily grow in the tropical areas of Eastern and Southern Asia. It is also known as Chinese pearl barley, or Jobs’ Tears because it bears tear-like shape grains which has become the staple food of the many indigenous people. Here in the Philippines, majority of whats available in the market are cracked adlai grains due to the milling practices in the country. Adlai is the champion crop of the Subanen Tribe in Mindanao, particularly in Zamboanga and Northern Mindanao. It also grows in the regions of Cordillera, more commonly in Sagada and the Mountain Province. It looks and tastes close to rice, but has slightly nutty flavor. It’s similar to al dente pasta and fluffy rice but the grains are a bit larger. Compared to white corn grits, cooked adlai grains are softer in texture and more compact. It is slightly chewy which can be an adjustment for some people. How to Use Adlai For every cup of adlai, add 2 or 3 cups of water. Try each ratio and decide which of the ratios you prefer. For a fluffier texture, pre-soak the grain in cold water for 4 to 8 hours, or overnight after the initial cleaning. It can also be used as an ingredient in soups and broth. The grain can be ground into flour and used to make bread, pasta, and porridge. For desserts, adlai can be cooked into maja blanca, champorado, polvoron and turones de adlai. It can also be used to make our kakanin. In traditional Chinese medicine, adlai is used extensively as an alternative medicine leveraging its anti-inflammatory properties for treating the painful effects of rheumatism and lower lung inflammation and damage.
