What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2025)?

We often use it. A lot of the middle eastern dishes I make have it and green wheat in them. They're ostensibly used similarly to rice or barley or even rye.

I've got a kilo or so I use to mill into whole wheat flour I just never thought about the berries. Matter of upbringing and what you're taught to eat...

Just a loaf of white bread.
No time to bake one
Yesterday evening was boerewors & pickels. Today might be toasted sandwich

I put some in a stew meat pot and they're chewy and picked up the pot flavors. I'm going to explore this cooking with whole wheat berries thing...

It looks a lot like barley so I imagine it could behave the same way in a stew.

I've got some of that too and yes, very similar.
