On Friday or Saturday evening, rinse and soak one measure of grain (single or mixed) overnight in a covered pot (or the rice cooker, if you have one). Rinse and cook one batch of grain according to the reference charts in the Real Food Answers section of the site. You can puree these cooked grains for younger babies, or use them over the next couple of days to add to soups, stews, salads, puddings, or cook them into patties for your family meals. Cooked grains keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. If you don’t freeze any of the leftovers, you may want to prepare another batch fresh on Wednesday to get you through the rest of the week.
