These are not grains but seeds, and so can be sprouted. Put them in water for 24 hours, then thoroughly rinse the sprouted seeds. To cook, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil, then on low heat for 20 minutes.
The thorough washing and then the sprouting process does two things — minimizes or eliminates the antinutrients and massively increases the nutritional value of both seeds.
This combination is a very healthy addition to a salad or can be used to make bread or pancakes.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
