Whole Grain Hulled Barley Review/Giveaway

Tropical Traditions sent me a 5 pound bag of their Organic Whole Grain Hulled Barley to try out for a review and giveaway! I've never cooked with barley, but I knew what I wanted to try with it. I wanted a good Beef, Barley, and vegetable soup. It turned out amazing! Barley is a great way to add extra fiber to my family's diets!



So, I went to the store last night and bought all the ingredients for the soup.

• 1 pound Stew Beef


• 2 small cans of mixed vegetables (No Salt Added)


• 1 large can of tomato juice


• 1 small can of Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Oregano, Garlic

I put 1 cup of barley in a bowl with 2 cups of water and let it soak for about 20 hours. While I was at work, my wife browned the stew beef. Then she added all the ingredients to the crock pot to cook on high for about 3 hours.



Giveaway

If that looks good, or if you would like to experiment with Organic Whole Grain Hulled Barley, Tropical Traditions is also offering one of my readers a 5 pound bag just like the one I received!
