Pearled Barley

I was trying, several years ago, to come up with something truly healthy to feed my Great Pyrenees dogs. Even the so-called "healthy" foods had a lot of ingredients I did not care for - and the dogs seemed to concur for they would give me this look like "you want me to eat this?". So I looked around on the internet for some alternatives. Found a lot of "loaf" kind of recipes for dogs with the basic ingredient of rice. I have substituted rice for this barley, easily made in the pressure cooker with 1 TBS of bouillon. I then cook up a couple eggs fresh from our farm, some sliced veggies and they just love it. I also pressure cook this barley for my ducks and they act like they have died and gone to heaven. For myself, I run it through the flour mill and make bread. Very very tasty bread. Excellent quality product. I like that Honeyville grows their own products with a minimum of pesticides. Cost effective too. Fast shipping. I love Honeyville!

Since I discovered Honeyville I'm very pleased. I saved lots of money on purchasing good qualities of barley, oats and beans in bulk. I have a three huge dogs and feed them with homemade all natural food in addition to raw meat to prevent them from cancer. I use this as well to cook soups and side dishes - delicious. Products I'm receiving from Honeyville are good qualities and orders are shipped very quick. Once in a while receiving
e-mails with extra savings codes. 100% satisfied.

I'm very thankful that I was able to purchase this product (purchased a case). There's a peaceful feeling knowing you have a quality product packaged for long term storage on your pantry shelves. I've made many batches of soup and some really yummy salads. Especially come Thanksgiving time I will be thankful I dont have to run to the grocery store to buy barley for turkey soup.

Thank you again Honeyville for providing a prime quality product at great price!

After wishing for many years to have a little food "put by" - and many months declining various "Survival Food" options (knowing that GOOD food is the BEST survival ration), the Honeyville operation hove into view. First order: Pearl Barley.

Delivery was delayed due to out-of-stock boundary condition not reflected on the Web site at the moment of payment. Nonetheless, Customer Service was unfailingly cheerful and entirely helpful. The carton arrived a few days after I first "blew the whistle".

As to the Barley Itself: Had I merely sealed that bag into the barrel and used the candle to evacuate the oxygen before dropping it all down the bunker-hole against The Day, I might have waited until Armageddon's full advent before eating so well. But I did not wait. A generous portion of at bag's content is now sitting in a three-pound coffee canister by the old Corona Mill, grist for tomorrow's breakfast.

By itself, ground like cornmeal and cooked in roughly twice its volume of water, It makes for a simple, slightly nutty-tasting porridge with a unique subtle undercurrent of savory flavor that is only found from FRESH barley. The flavor of the cooked meal is hearty and wholesome - gets along very well indeed with Stevia, carob, dried apricots and even shredded coconut (though not all at once, thank you).

Bottom line: Satisfied. 100%. SO glad to have discovered Honeyville Grains! Shall order MORE barley ASAP. Have ordered another product in the meantime; let's see how the Millet stands up to my kitchen! I think I smell a BIG bowl of REALLY fresh couscous on the Event Horizon. And that ain't all. 0{;-)o[

I ordered a 50 lb bag of Pearled Barley from Honeyville recently. The product is of good quality and cheaper compared tosimilar products in the market. Pearled Barley is a very good substitute for refined carbohydrate rich grains (e.g. rice) especially for diabetics. I hope that Honeyville keeps selling such good quality products at fair prices.

I was a little nervous about ordering this product because not all pearled barley is created equal and was very happy when I received my shipment. Compared to supermarket pearled barley this barley was processed in a minimalistic way so more of the whole grain was there. It makes a wonderfully chewy side dish and is great in stews and soups. We also include it in our grain mixture for making breakfast porridge. BTW it has a great flavor!
