Why are some whole grains not popularly sold in stores if they’re meant to be so good for you?

I’m trying to eat more whole grains and I looked it up a list online and honestly just got overwhelmed bc there’s just so many options half of which I’ve never heard of and wouldn’t be able to buy locally

Examples from that list are sorghum, kamut, spelt, wheat berries, farro, teff.

And bc I’ve never tried them I have no idea how they taste

I like porridge like texture of things for grains like rice oats and quinoa.

Could anyone recommend me any other grains that i could make into a nice porridge?

Hello healthy vegans,

What are you standard everyday meals?

What is you weird but effective 15-20 min meal?

If I were to prep something for the week what should it be?

I eat lots of oats with chia and flax seeds and various fruits and thing i should add to my daily overnight oat slop ?

I've never cooked with them before, but I blistered one today and it was delicious! I love the flavor. Smoky but without too much heat - family-friendly, for sure. Unless I hit a hot one on the package! But - how else do you use them other than shishito pepper poppers with a dipping sauce?

I'm thinking salsa but would love other ideas.

I have a bunch of celery to use and I'm looking for new and creative ways to highlight it. Celery soup? Braised celery? Roasted celery? Gimme ideas on how to make celery shine as it's own dish please.

My cholesterol was in a bad territory and my doctor was very direct so I committed fully. The things I used to rely on for richness and flavour like butter, fatty cuts and cream are all gone now. I have found some decent recipes but everything still feels like something important is missing. What actually helped people start genuinely enjoy this long term rather than just getting through mealtimes?

I've been WFPB since 2019 with compliance 90% or more. Just got results from periodic blood work:

cholesterol 106
HDL 43
LDL 44

Triglycerides 94
Ratio 2.5

Hello. I need help with creativity and thinking of ways to eat wfpb on the go, preferably low fat. Im fairly new to WFPB. Trying to also loose weight due to diabetes. I have a very busy work life in healthcare and spend a fair amount of time in the car between patient visits. Ideally I need to eat things that are hand held that can be eaten while driving. Not a big fan of tofu. Currently eating baked baby potatoes, carrots, sugar snap peas...anyone know of healthy recipies that can create a pocket of sorts (like hot pockets) that I can stuff with beans (need protein and fiber), farro, veggies for example. Something that doesnt require a fork and spoon. Any suggestions for on the go meals would be very much appreciated. ❤️

ETA: any cooked fruits/veggies are safe.

My doctor has requested that I go on a whole-food, plant-based diet for a few weeks to see if it helps with my GI issues and chronic migraines.

I understand the basics of the diet, but I’m worried about getting adequate nutrition due to my allergies. I cannot eat any peanuts, tree nuts, or raw fruits/veggies with the exception berries and some leafy greens. This is due to a histamine intolerance / oral allergy syndrome.

Any advice or suggestions for meals / snacks that follow WFPB?

TIA!

I have a lot of lentils and am looking to use them 👀 tell me your favorite lentil recipe for a slow cooker/crock pot!

I still have my old nonstick pans for cooking, except for a couple of new ceramic nonstick stovetop pans. But what do you use for baking when there is no oil to make stuff slide out of the pans? I put parchment in some things, like breadmaking, when I don't care what it looks like coming out of the loaf pan. But my oil-free muffins like to stick to the pan, and when I use the paper liners, they stick to those and make them frankly embarrassing to share with others. What are your tricks?
