This product is reasonably easy to make but it is not as easy as similar products available in Ireland (example: Odlums Brown Bread Mix).
It also does not have the texture of the Irish made product. Garvey's product uses finely ground flour while Brown Bread in Ireland uses a coarse ground whole wheat flour, giving the final product a "nutty" or "chewable" texture. I was able to reproduce this texture to some extent by adding some whole wheat bran to the mixture when making the bread.
Also, I was surprised that I had to obtain buttermilk to add to the mix. This is a requirement when making brown bread from scratch (which I have done) but this is not needed in, for example, Odlums Brown Bread Mix where water is the only ingredient needed.
There doesn't seem to be any great advantage in buying Garvey's product over buying ingredients in any grocery store and using any commonly available recipe.
