To prepare Golden Jewel Grain Blend, rinse the grains thoroughly under cold water. Combine the rinsed blend with a liquid, such as water or broth, in a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed. The cooking time will vary depending on the specific grains in the blend. Once cooked, fluff with a fork before serving. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker according to manufacturer instructions.
