An ancient whole grain cultivated on the Tibetan Plateau, Purple Karma Barley is now sustainably grown in the Pacific Northwest. With its striking purple hue, chewy yet tender texture, and nutty flavor, this heirloom barley is a nutrient-dense, flavorful alternative to white or brown rice.

Rich in antioxidants and deeply satisfying, Purple Karma Barley nourished high-altitude communities for centuries and now brings depth, color, and resilience to modern meals. 

For Amza’s founder, Jolma—born in Tibet—this grain is woven into everyday memory: simple meals, shared bowls, and nourishment rooted in tradition.
