"Puls" Milled Barley & Pomegranate Porridge Mix - 2 lbs

Puls, along with bread, formed the backbone of the Ancient Roman diet. It was made by boiling grains into a porridge, and anything from fruit to meat would be added to it to provide an energizing and comforting meal that would stick to the ribs. This modern interpretation is made with milled barley, ground cardamom, and tangy pomegranate seeds, and is prepared in the same way that we prepare stove-top porridges today. Add warm milk, honey, and a crack or two of black pepper, and start your day just like a Roman!
