Caroline you are so wonderful, I enjoy every session here with you, thank you.

[pattycake]

I have been working with lentils. Going great so far, plus white beans. Thank you for all of this. Taking notes.

[bcful]

Would love to see a video of what you eat in a day and your exercise routine to stay slim and look so beautiful. your videos!! You are an inspiration!

[yvonnevideen]

My absolute favorite is also Farro. I buy a pre-cooked type so it only takes 10 minutes to cook. I hope that type is as beneficial as the long cooking one. I really enjoy your videos.

[janeosborne]

Really appreciate that you include timestamps. I have IBS-D and am slowly adding whole grains back to my diet. Love watching your videos for tasty ideas and you are such a great presenter.💙

Could you do a video about maintaining your weight on the Mediterranean Diet? I’ve been following the guidelines since August and I’ve lost almost 50 pounds. My cholesterol levels are way down…no medication for me. I don’t want to lose anymore weight but I want to stay healthy.

[tinawinget]

[esmeraldarodriguez]

Thank you. Your videos are the ones I NEVER miss and always appreciate.

[cynthiaromero]

Great information. I have sprouted oats every morning. I now gave quinoa in lieu of potatoes and rice.

[pinkiepinkster]

Im sticking to the gluten free grains of buckwheat and millet. Quinoa and amaranth are actually seeds.

I fell in love with red Lentils In the instant pot with a couple cherry tomatoes stock yum

[lindagee]

A very interesting video that really demystifies this subject. And a great reminder to branch out in my cooking. Thanks, Caroline.

[fahimehkingston]

Thank you very much for your recipe videos and advice on nutritious foods.

Hi Caroline - I can't believe I'm just learning about resistant starches - game changer. I just went down a rabbit hole learning more. Thank you!
Instant Pot Farro is 10mins of cooking time...with bringing to pressure and natural release it's about the same time as the stove but it's hands-free.

[janetblickle]

Thank you for your list. I have been thinking of starting to make sourdough and wandering if it will work with Spelt flour.

[theresalee]

Your videos are the best for me! Meanwhile, so many grains in my cabinet seems a bit daunting, although most seem to stay fresh, are they? Our favs are quinoa, farro, and oats. For variety I have lentils, beans, buckwheat, nuts, fruit and greens. Oh my. I will try to remember to freeze the excess cooked grains so as not to let them sit and then expire in the refrigerator. Thanks for the reminder! ❤

[tinkershell]

Extremely helpful video! Thank you! ❤😄

[MT-mvge]

Can you teach us how to store grains and cook them from frozen, when you get time.

[kimberlyberlin]

Resistant starch....hmmmm I'll have to look that up.
