There is a packaged product called Farroto, it is farro wheat whole grains and is not bad. Makes something like a rice risotto.
Can regular whole wheat grains be cooked and eaten this way?
Yes. They take longer to cook than rice and the result has a bit more of a chewy texture, but it’s very nice.
Whole cooked wheat berries turn out kind of like a nuttier brown rice. You can also get cracked wheat or bulgar which cooks faster since it’s broken.
When I used to brew my own beer, starting with cracked grains, I would often cook them up afterwords and use them as rice in dishes, that is if the grains were not too dark which has a off/ strong flavor for this.
Bulgur mostly cooks faster because it’s almost inevitably already parboiled.
It makes a nice salad. I’ve had it made with bulgur, cous-cous and whole wheat (that last seems to be a French thing).
Wheat berries are great, cooked overnight in a Crock Pot. You can also sprout them.
Frumenty. Tasty, filling, and not that expensive.
You never heard of Malt-O-Meal?
Malt-O-Meal is milled wheat; the OP was asking about whole grains.
Check it out at Panini in Southern California.
Yup, I know all about processed cereals I was asking about cooking whole grains of wheat.
Thanks guys! I really liked that Farroto product,it is basically whole grains of farro wheat along with dried mushrooms and salt and spices in a pouch you simmer for 15 minutes in about two cups of water.I liked the resulting food a lot better than rice, it had a nice nutty flavor and was chewy. I’m going to try making my own with wheat berries.
