InHarvest Organic Express Whole Grain Trio
What it is
This is a blend of three distinct whole grains, carefully selected for their complementary textures and flavors. It includes whole grain brown rice, quinoa, and pearled barley. Each grain is processed to cook quickly, offering a convenient way to incorporate whole grains into meals. The combination provides a satisfying chew and a nutty, earthy taste profile. It is a versatile base for many dishes.
How people cook with it
This grain blend is ideal for busy individuals and families seeking wholesome meal components. It serves as an excellent foundation for a variety of culinary creations.
- As a side dish
- In grain bowls
- As a soup thickener
- In salads
To prepare, simply combine the grain blend with the recommended amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The quick-cooking nature means it is ready in a fraction of the time compared to cooking each grain individually. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker or Instant Pot.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike single-grain products, this trio offers a more complex texture and flavor profile due to the combination of brown rice, quinoa, and barley. Its pre-portioned and quick-cooking nature sets it apart from raw, unmixed grains that require longer cooking times and separate preparation.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain freshness and prevent the grains from absorbing moisture or odors. Proper storage ensures the quality of the blend for future use.
