    I recently figured out that wheat/gluten FUBARs my health, so even just the concept of cereal grains has recently exploded in complexity in my head.

    Before, I was eating:

    • wheat (incl. durum, spelt, rye, and rarely barley, emmer)
    • oats
    • rice

    Now I newly eat:

    • buckwheat
    • millet
    • quinoa (in like three different colors)
    • amaranth
    • whole-grain rice is apparently pretty cool
    • maize/corn (in the form of polenta and tortilla)

      Buckwheat is so good if you fry onions, carrots and bacon, and then mix with boiled buckwheat.

      Also if you don’t use multi-cooker - consider. It is a bit hard to get used to, but gives additional freedom in cooking everything from your list with meat.

        Well, I happen to separately only eat foods that don’t cast a shadow do the vegan thing and my genes don’t like the taste of onion either, so uhh… 😅

        But still good info. I haven’t yet tried cooking whole-grain buckwheat myself, so knowing a combination that works, I can figure out substitutes or other combinations which are likely to work.
