How to Cook Whole Grains
Whole grains, such as brown rice and barley, are fantastic: they're delicious and nutty-tasting, super-versatile, and better for you than white rice, since they're full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. We boil them in lots of water and then drain them— the way you'd cook pasta. Once you get the hang of making them, you'll find that it's really pretty easy. Use them in custom one-bowl meals, or as a base for stew, soup, or chili.
