Bob's Red Mill Pearl Barley, 30oz (Pack of 4) - Non GMO, Vegan, Kosher

I sure do love my oats in the morning. I have never been patient enough to boil the oats, and much prefer to microwave them so I have always liked this product and the way it has been packaged. The pricing is very competitive and it always seems to arrive quickly and without damage...one tip for all of my fellow Amazon shoppers, when revaluation the price look at the cost per Ounce, and not the total cost. Usually pays to buy in greater bulk if the there is a noticeable cost differential in the price/oz-only took me 5 years to figure this out but better late than never

Great product. Buy again

Okay, so returning to prehistoric diet wasn't really what I had in mind when trying new things, but my husband's recent diabetes diagnosis made me revaluate what I wanted and what I needed. I read barley is an excellent food for diabetics because of it's low glycemic index, and can be prepared like rice or like pasta. I looked up ways to cook it, and in general it was 30 minutes in boiling water and you'll have perfectly soften delicious barley. I'll tell you, 30 minutes is not long enough.. and when it says you don't need to soak it.. well it's all someone's dream version of barely prep. If you soak this in luke warm water prior to cooking it with the lid on for about 45 minutes, you can definitely make barley into a delicious risotto alternative or a something akin to an Orzo salad. I also really like these as a mac and cheese.. yes weird right, but it works. Barley bread is also delicious, if you haven't tried it yet. However, it's all in the cook.. it is supposed to be soft, so if it's crunchy, it's not ready.

I order the 4 pack so I can donate some to the local shop that is open to veterans and low income people that can shop there for FREE. And, I eat these all the time. I also put them in my salad. Healthy and filling! Something I hope Amazon keeps available for many years to come!I also like buying Bob's Red Mill products. Not just the barley.

The package arrives with three bags in it. Well packed. The color is different from another brand I ordered. This one is brownish and the other one is white. Anyway, I have been using it for my breakfast. I mix it with a lot of other things. Therefore, I cannot exactly tell the taste. On the whole, I think it is good.

I’ve always been a fan of their products and I use the pearled barley as a staple in my pups home cookedDog food because it packs a punch for the nutrition that he needs! Never stray to another brand.

Good quality as typical of Bob's mill.

We’ve tried this brand before, on my husband’s account, and have been pretty happy with it in terms of flavor. It’s my purchase this time, and I was impressed with how the sturdy individual bags came in an equally sturdy box inside of the shipping box. Bags were sealed, integrity of everything is intact.Like I said, product is fresh, tasty. We mix ours with rice and cook it in our rice cooker.
