Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups water
1/2 cup wild rice
1/2 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup steel-cut oats (Irish oatmeal)
1/2 cup bulgur wheat
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose your grains wisely: Different grains have different nutritional profiles and flavors. Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect blend.
  • Soak your grains: Soaking grains overnight helps to break down the phytic acid, which can make them more digestible and nutritious. You can also use yogurt or buttermilk to soak your grains. This will give them a tangy flavor and help to tenderize them.
  • Cook your grains properly: The cooking time for grains will vary depending on the type of grain. Be sure to follow the package directions for the best results.
  • Add some flavor: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Try adding spices, herbs, nuts, or dried fruits to your grain cereal. You can also sweeten it with honey or maple syrup, or add a dollop of yogurt or milk.
  • Make it a meal: Grain cereal is a great base for a healthy and satisfying meal. Top it with eggs, yogurt, fruit, or nuts for a complete breakfast or lunch.

Conclusion:
