SC - whole wheat

[Christina van Tets]

Hello the list again!

I have been having fun going through the shops here in Beersheba, and while 
most of the food is similar to stuff I've found elsewhere, I have a couple 
of questions.

1.  I've found whole grains of wheat for sale - they're cheaper than rice or 
barley, so I may well be using them a lot.  They're also really badly 
threshed, and full of stones, but we'll let that pass.  So far I've just 
treated them like rice (fry onions and whatever else comes to hand, fry the 
rice a bit, chuck in water and let cook), though they seem to use about 3 
times as much water as rice does.  My question therefore is:  Does anyone 
know of any recipes (preferably but not necessarily period) which are 
specifically for wheat grains?

2.  Is there any other fun ingredient I should be looking out for while I'm 
here?

Thanks for your time
