Arrowhead Mills Organic Pearled Barley, 1lbs (793g)

I love barley, because it’s so versatile and healthy. I can make oatmeal with it, I can make a swallow for African soup with it and more.

Excellent barley. Self sealing package.

...and barley is so good! Not only is this great in soups but barley is great for the skin. Simmer a tablespoon of pearl barley in two quarts of water for about 45 minutes and drank a cup morning and evening. About a month into the barley water regimen, I did a double take when I looked in the mirror. My skin was clear.I kept drinking the water for several months, and that was the end of the acne.Barley is a source of azelaic acid, used topically to treat both rosacea and acne (Practical Dermatology, March, 2013). Azelaic acid reduces skin inflammation and prevents the development of comedones (clogged pores). Perhaps that is why drinking barley water worked.

This product arrived with a cut in the packet and the pearled barley was coming out of the hole in the packet, so I was unable to use it and had to throw it out, therefore I never had a chance to taste it.

My daughter bought me my first package because she really likes it for her cleaning eating diet. I bought this package when I ran out because I've always liked barley in soup. We canned about 12 quarts of vegetables from our garden and added the barley in. This barley has a nice firm texture when cooked.
