Quaker Medium Pearled Barley 16 oz. Box

I first began using Quaker Medium Pearled Barley in my homemade beef / barley soup, years ago. Then I branched out to homemade chicken / barley and after that I began putting barley in almost every soup or crock pot dish I make, if it's got vegetables, it can have Barley. My Big Huge Overreaching Gripe is that ALL THE STORES IN MY AREA HAVE QUIT STOCKING IT!!!! INSTEAD, THEY HAVE "QUICK" BARLEY!!! I DON'T WANT QUICK BARLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This infuriates me, I want the real thing, that you have to COOK. So, people, start complaining!!!! We want our BARLEY, and we want it REAL.

Initially I got barley to put in a casserole. When I saw the ingredient list which includes 5g fiber and a source of B vitamins, I decided to also put it in my quick oats. I keep extra barley in my fridge so I can add it to my breakfast. The texture is wonderful in the oats! My doctor told me to increase my fiber and Quaker Oats has such good wholesome products. So a dash of sliced almonds, blueberries, honey, and a splash of skim milk or cream really is a start to a beautiful day! I am looking forward to making the smoothies! Thanks Quaker!
