They can be boiled and used as a hearty base for grain bowls, tossed into salads for extra texture, or added to soups and stews where they maintain their shape without becoming mushy. They are also excellent for sprouting, which increases their sweetness and nutritional availability, making them a popular addition to raw energy salads and stir-fries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePreparation and Cooking\u003c\/b\u003e Because these are whole, unprocessed grains, they require a significant amount of time to cook.
