Delingha Tsampa

　　Delingha Specialty – Tsampa: Tsampa is a specialty of Haixi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province. In fact, tsampa is the staple food for Tibetans at all three daily meals. It is a type of roasted flour made from highland barley, produced by roasting the barley grains, grinding them into fine powder, and not sifting or removing the bran, making it similar to the roasted flour found in northern China. Tibetans usually eat tsampa by first pouring a small amount of buttered tea into a bowl, adding some tsampa flour, and then kneading and mixing it continuously with their fingers until it forms a dough-like ball, which they then eat.
