It's great, there's literally nothing wrong with this quality wise.I knocked off 2 stars because at the time of writing this, the Amazon phots shows 2 severings when in reality it's only one serving when I purchased them and looked at the label (see image's).
I purchased this along with a couple of other varieties for alternative protein sources. The taste is great. It's so easy to prepare, and the price isright.
FIRST, INGREDIENTS! HOW many packaged foods have just a handful of ingredients and they're CLEAN ingredients. I KNOW there is salt in it, BUT this isn't really that high for me as I generally make TWO meals out of one pouch EASILY, so it is lunch and dinner (I plop half on Pita bread for lunch, maybe mix in some veggies and make a bowl for dinner). For breakfast, I have oatmeal most days, some days a smoothie, neither of which is high is salt. SO UNLESS you have a LOT of salt with your other meals, this really isn't bad re sodium (UNLESS of course you're on a sodium-restricted diet).
TASTE - I - LOVE-THIS! How they made barley and lentils so good with so few ingredients, well done! Sometimes I may add a touch of a condiment or spice to change it up, but it's pretty freaking good on it's own.
HEALTHY - LOVE to eat healthy, HATE to shop for ingredients and cook. I like FAST, HEALTHY, EASY and AFFORDABLE. WHICH brings me to the next point....COST.
COST - Considering I easily get two meals from it, GREAT price to eat WELL.
CONS - Like I mentioned, and others have as well, YES, there is SALT, but unless you're on a very salt restricted diet or eat a lot of other salty foods during the day, this is a good staple to keep in the house as a base for ALL kinds of veggie bowls or to eat with Pita or Naan bread. I also wish the ingredients were ORGANIC as in TRUROOTS products, that I also have as a staple. Because of their organic ingredients, and a little better price point on SOME of their options, I tend to buy more of TRUROOTS than I do of 365. BUT I LOVE BARLEY and I don't always want brown rice in the mix, so this BARLEY and LENTIL IS AN ABSOLUTE FAV!
I am delighted to see barley added to the ready to eat offerings. This was delicious with a spoonful of garlic infused ghee, has enough protein for a lunch or light meal, and was soothing on a day when I felt out of sorts. Definitely going on my autoship.
Very good. Love all the ingredients. Precooked and ready to eat. Nice addition to working pantry and even long term pantry. Can eat any time with little fuss. As a shelf stable food, it will have a lot of sodium, but it also has a lot of potassium which totally helps balance it out. Lots of fiber and protein. 1 pouch is 1 serving. Price is something I dont rate on, but I do comment. Not a daily eat, but for what it is I think a few bucks for a healthy meal is reasonable, especially when wanting total convenience. I will likely buy more as I do like having this on hand. Just love lentils and barley-- two of my favorites. I probably wouldnt buy it at this price for just rice, but for interesting combos that I normally dont see? sure, why not.
I like the taste, texture. I have eaten it paired with some canned salmon and slices of avocado. Works nicely as base to "bowl" meals.
Barley and lentils is a fantastic combo. And barley is kind of a pain to cook. So I was really happy to find these pouches for the days where I don't feel like breaking out the instant pot. One of my favorite meals is to Take a can of Progresso hearty tomato, mix it with a pouch of the barley and lentils, and add in some minced garlic, cumin and cayenne powder. And sometimes some sweet corn. It really makes a nice soup.
