What it is
This is a convenient blend of seven different grains, pre-portioned and sealed in a microwave-safe bag. The grains include rice, barley, wheat, rye, oats, millet, and quinoa, offering a variety of textures and flavors. It is designed for quick and easy preparation, requiring only a few minutes in the microwave. The sealed bag helps retain moisture and steam, cooking the grains evenly.

- Added to salads
To prepare, simply place the unopened bag in the microwave. Cook on high power for the time indicated on the packaging, usually around two to three minutes. The steam generated inside the bag cooks the grains. Once done, carefully remove the bag from the microwave, as it will be hot. Cut open the bag and empty the contents onto a plate or into a serving dish. Fluff with a fork before serving. It's ready to be enjoyed as is or incorporated into your favorite dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular dry grains that require simmering on the stovetop for extended periods, this product is pre-cooked and ready in minutes. The steaming method ensures a tender texture and prevents the grains from becoming mushy or sticking together, which can sometimes happen with stovetop cooking.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add a healthy grain component to their meals.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Once the bag has been microwaved and opened, any unused portion should be refrigerated promptly. It is best to consume any leftovers within a day or two for optimal freshness and quality.
