Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Denise, that's funny. I have yet to find the 10 min. quick cook type and I've looked everywhere. I see the pearl in bags all over the place. I've had recipes calling for the quick cook abd I've passed those recipes up.

I wonder where we gat that? Usually only a health food store of co-op. Donna's mail order site probably has it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 --- Denise, I'm not sure where exactly you are located in Iowa but I have had luck finding pearled barley cheap in a local Asian market--local for me is a 35-40 mile radius though : ). I have never found anything other than quick-cooking barley in a grocery store like Hy-Vee or Fareway. Pot barley I get at Paul's grains which is in Laural, IA-- straight south of Marshalltown on hwy 14. Paul's Grains carries tons of good stuff, all organic, and I believe he does mail order. Just doing a search of Paul's Grains will pull him up : ). They are a homeschool family that run an organic farm. They carry mostly grains, flours, cereals, etc but I have also gotten dried beans, dried fruits, and carob chips. They are big suppliers to health food stores in our state : ). We have never done mail order as it is fun to just drive down and kids are allowed to look around the farm and play with the animals : ). Just another idea from someone else in Iowa who struggles finding stuff : )........... Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Anne, THANK YOU! so much for this information. I found their website right away. I will definitely pass this on to many of my friends who are always looking for organic and natural grain products. Perhaps my friend Donna and I could drive over there one day, she'd love to visit with them. Ahh, hadn't thought of looking in an Asian Market. We're due to visit one the next time we're in Des Moines. have a great weekend!
