QuakerQuick Barley, 11 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Love barley. I will buy and eat in any form, but the "quick barley" is fantastic for ease of prep. Nice option to tuck away as part of long term prepper pantry. Once cooked, tastes good hot or cold. Can be used in both savory applications as well as sweet. Freezes really well too!I usually just buy this at the store, but lately it hasn't always been available. I saw it here in a case, and figured I would go for it. I don't worry about best by dates on this as I have used barley I have forgotten about years past the date without issue.

Most of us are familiar with beef-barley soup with barley being a healthy alternative to egg noodles. I have made a delightful tomato barley soup with this product. Importantly, it is cooking-time-friendly. if you have a taste for barley soup but dread the 45 minutes preparation time to cook barley, then this product is a desirable alternative. Why? It takes only 10-12 minutes to cook, and you can make more than needed with the remainder refrigerated for your next cup-of-soup.In the headline I mentioned breakfast cereal. I believe most people don't consider barley as a breakfast or snack cereal but it can be and especially as an alternative to oat products for oat-sensitive individuals.Gluten sensitivity seems to receive a lot of press, but you may be (also) oat-product sensitive without knowing this fact. Since many products contain oats and the reaction time to them may take more than one hour, anyone may be manifesting mild symptoms without making the connection to oats. For me, as one of those people, I miss oat products, but I've enjoyed making barley cereal as an alternative breakfast and snack food, While barley is bland, as is oatmeal, I've added to it a variety of flavors—honey, cinnamon-sugar, syrups, stevia. Alternatives could be also fresh fruit, chocolate chips, walnuts, almonds, etc. Bottom line: add what you like to this healthy-grain product.

Cooks easily and quickly, tastes great, all around great product. I even put some in my dogs food for their grain. They love it too.

Taste great in a soup with ease of use; however, more expensive for convenience. Well worth the extra money.

I was surprised by the good taste. I followed a French recipe, and this was the side dish.

Use it all the time. Wouldn't be good soup without it.

I like the size of box and the quality of the barley. Recipes on box were good, too. Always looking for recipe ideas.

I ordered a box of 12. There was only one box delivered. Need help with completing this order.
