Seeds of Change: healthy meals in minutes

I just saw these in Whole Foods the other day, and although I normally would just make something similar myself in the good old rice cooker, Natacha is busy with a full time job ( and overtime - such is being a CNA ) and school - so, I have always have a few of these for her to take to work or as part of a quick meal component when she blows through the house.

According to their website:

Tigris A Mixture of Seven Whole Grains

Over 11,000 years ago, the earliest examples of wheat, barley and other grains were cultivated in the “fertile crescent” of Mesopotamia. Their seeds were irrigated by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. And as they grew and thrived, these grains spread throughout the globe. These days, we preserve the essential goodness of these ancient grains that took hours of loving preparation. We do all the work so you can have this dish on your table in just 90 seconds.

There are several varieties and they’re all a pretty tasty way to get your whole grains in a hurry.

Now you have no excuse.

I know these are fairly pricey but I also use them to put extra nutrition and fiber into soups when I’m in a hurry.
