  1. I am 67 yrs old and I love theses grains !.. I grew up with may immigrants in New York City., Now I eat GF meals. So I know the taste of theses grains. THIS REVIEW IS VERY RELIABLE !!!! My favorites are Barley, Millet, and Farro. Follow the videos advice and taste them. Those grains are very yummy. i like them more than Quinoa and Bulgar. And those two (Quinoa and Bulgar) are also delicious.

  2. While the presenter briefly mentions how to cook some grains, the video does not provide comprehensive cooking ratios or specific cooking times for most of the items listed. Viewers looking for exact instructions will need to consult the America’s Test Kitchen website or cookbooks. The content is a lecture-style overview rather than a step-by-step recipe tutorial. Viewers wanting to see how to incorporate these grains into a finished dish would need to search for those specific recipes elsewhere. Due to the wide variety of grains covered in a short four-minute span, the information provided for each grain is limited to general flavor profiles, origins, and basic categories, rather than in-depth nutritional breakdowns or storage tips.
