Leket Barley Soup Mix 400g - Hearty Blend of Pearl Barley, Haricot Beans, Green & Yellow Split Peas, and Red Lentils for Delicious Homemade Soups

Handy to have in the cupboard for my soup making session

It was very wholesome and tasty

This packet contains a good assortment of dried grains (barley) beans and lentils to make the basis of a soup or stew. Nothing wrong with them and perfectly acceptable and tasty.But prominently on the front of the package is the wording "No checking necessary Infestation Free" which might be reassuring in some parts of the world, but in the UK I think would put off many potential customers. Under UK law, if it's infested it cannot be sold as it's unfit for human consumption.

I have used this produce in soups and casseroles works really well.And would recommend it good Volume

Take too much time to cook and you have soak as well before cooking

very good added to casserole/stew

Best stew mix I’ve found, large unbroken pulses. Wonderful in a stew or casserole.

This product was sent to me for review, as part of Amazon Vine. The below is my own real-world experience of using it.It is a nice, varied mix of beans and grains which can help to make a hearty meal; I used it to make a vegetable soup, though it became more like a stew due to the expansion of the grains - you really don't need to use much for one or two people! There is also a little flexibility in the cooking method; you can either soak them beforehand, or boil for 10 minutes, then simmer them for 30 (I did the latter).In summary, I believe this is a good value item.
