What grains do you eat?

[jennyb]

The tabbouleh recipe by @The Late Night Gourmet got me thinking about grains like bulgur, spelt, barley and so on. I probably don't use them as much as I should or could. I am going to make an effort to incorporate them more into meals. I was wondering how often others here cook with grains and what type.

We are using grains a lot more since son went vegan. I'm a fan of barley which is great added to soups but will also make a good 'risotto'. Quinoa is one of those 'wonder grains' allegedly (if you believe all that stuff). I use that too, mostly for salads similar to tabouleh. I've also used Freekeh in the same sort of way.

I think @jennyb meant grains that you cook like rice - quinoa etc.

Quinoa, freekeh, bulgur, farro. We recently have been buying and trying grains. We use them mostly in salads for lunch boxes.
