2 Cups Kamut
1 Cup Spelt
2 Cups Sunflower seeds – plain
2 Cups Flax

Instructions for Use
Use 1 part Whole Multi Grain Cereal Mix to 2 parts water.
(I.e. 1 Cup mixed grains would be soaked in 2 cups water. 1 Cup of Mixed grains should provide enough for 4 regular size servings)
Measure your grain mix into a colander. Wash & rinse all the grain really well with lots of fresh water running over it for at least a minute. Check to ensure grain is clean and remove any odd pieces.
Combine 1 Cup of mixed grains with 2 cups of water and a “pinch” of salt.
Soak 7-12 hours (overnight works really well). Then bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer for 15-25 minutes. (Cook it just like you would regular rice). You can vary it depending on how firm or soft you like it. You also can add more or less water. Some variation in water quantity and cooking time will be needed depending on personal preference and grain quality.
Using a rice cooker works really well. You can soak it in the rice cooker over night then turn it on when you get up and within 20 min you have a hot breakfast ready.
To serve – top with brown sugar, fresh fruit like berries or bananas, raisins, milk or light cream.
