“Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian;
wine and tarragon make it French.
Sour cream makes it Russian;
lemon and cinnamon make it Greek.
Soy sauce makes it Chinese;
garlic makes it good.”

The Vegan Basics
Vegan Grains
Grains represent the greatest nutrition for most populations all over the world. And a vegan will find that these "grass seeds" provide nutrition for strong minds and bodies... not to mention great creativity in meal planning.
Grain preparation is fast and easy when using a rice cooker. I simply measure out the grain, add water and turn the ricecooker on. I always add a pinch of sea salt to the water with the grains before starting the rice cooker.
HINT: Try using Imagine Vegetable Broth or Imagine No Chicken Broth as a part of the water measurement to add more flavor to the grains.
