These organic mixed cracked grains are made up of wheat, barley, rye, oat and flax. They make a delicious breakfast cereal. Use a 2-to-1 ratio of liquid to grains, or even a bit more liquid. You can enjoy a softer porridge if you soak the grains in the water overnight. Or, bring the grain/water mixture to a boil, cover, remove from heat and let sit for about 30 minutes, then continue cooking. Without the pre-soak, the grains take 15-25 minutes to cook, depending on your preference for mush vs. crunch. You can dress up these grains with butter and maple syrup, or for a delicious savory breakfast, try mixing them with a teaspoon or two of tamari and chopped chives or herbs. A fried egg on top gives you some extra protein. The grains are also great mixed in with rolled oats to make granola, or used on their own to make a pilaf. Store as you would rice, oats or barley.
