Love barley great product

Great stuff! You wouldn't think that there could be such a difference with what you can buy in the store. This has a wonderful flavor and texture. I won't buy anything else from now on.

This was our second big bag purchase. We divide it into quart freezer bags and soak and cook a batch every week or two. Stays fresh pretty easily. We use large sealable tubs and/or a FoodSaver machine for longer term storage. Rice by itself is nice but the addition of barley adds a punch visually, texturally, for mouth feel and nutrition-wise. Price has gone up $10 a bag since pre-Covid but this barley is wonderful and worth it.

Great product. 25 pounds is a lot. Good protein source.

I am so excited. Could not find whole, unmucked-around-with barley anywhere local that wasn't meant for livestock. Bag arrived well boxed so it stayed clean and intact. Easy to open bag. Did not have to argue with the little string. I have some in the rice cooker now. Keep in mind product is sold by weight. However, I wonder if a smaller bag can be found for packaging. I love that the bag can be recycled or used to keep down weeds in garden.

Thought I would be getting hulled barely - this could more accurately be called cracked barley with many fragments in the mix - not nearly the quality that I can get at my local health food co-op. When cooked, all the fragments mean you get barley mush with a few larger bits. If you are just looking to make porridge it might be acceptable, otherwise avoid.

I'm very grateful to be able to get hulled barley at a reasonable price. My husband and I have always eaten hot oatmeal for breakfast, but recently we both were told that our cholesterol is borderline high. I decided to see if we could find an even higher fiber breakfast option. This product makes a great bowl of super-healthy hot cereal. I simply put 4 cups of water and 1 cup of barley in a 2-quart slow cooker overnight for about 8 hours. It's so easy and tasty (with some brown sugar and milk added just before serving). My kids prefer a blend of grains, so I've come up with a recipe they prefer. I use 1/2 cup of the barley and then 1/2 cup of a mix of equal parts: steel cut oats, bulgur wheat, white rice (brown came out crunchy!), and grits. This helps to mellow the flavor and minimize the chewiness for the younger crowd.

I eat barley every day after cooking one cup of this whole grain in my InstaPot. Barley helps lower my cholesterol. The price, unfortunately, continues to rise each year that I buy it. This is quality barley & it comes in a sturdy bag. I pour the 25 lb bag into a large Rubbermaid plastic box which seals securely. Will buy again.
