Oats. I eat oatmeal. Oat cereal. Oat milk. Oats in smoothies. I love oats.
- Oat-tay-toes
- I am also oatilicious. It's possible at more than one time in my life that I have been mostly made of oats.
- 100%
Rice. Goes with everything, can be made stovetop in ~20 mins and is fairly cheap.
- I got myself a cheap rice cooker and I’ve never looked back. I have never in my life appreciated a purchase as much.
Corn is tempting and I really love oats, but gonna go with rice because I’m lazy and already have a rice farm.
- Look at this guy with his own rice farm.
Trix obviously.
- Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.
Popcorn
Farro ftw
Do split peas count? Because I love making a home-made split-pea soup. I know it's technically a dried pea and not a grain...
- It's way cheaper if you buy the whole ones and split them yourself.
(real question) is there a non-carb grain? is there a grain that's mostly protein? (a lot of keto stuff has pea protein...) (i'm almost certain there's no FAT based grain 😭)
- No, but there are grains that have a lower glycemic index than others. Lentils are an example of one with 9g protein and 12g net carbs per 100g

What's the difference between a lentil and a chickpea?
- I don’t know, what is the difference between a lentil and a chickpea?

  Yes, and it's so awful that I'm going to let someone else do the punchline.

Rye FTW.
Also, lentils are beans, not grain.
- rye
  Best in liquid form.
  
  Makes a great stout, ale, and whiskey!
- Lentils are legumes. Legumes and beans are pulses. Lentils are not beans.
Probably anything but common wheat.
For anyone else interested, here’s a more complete list

Rice. From white rice to black rice and everything in between it is a side, a pairing, an entree; rice is everything I need it to be.
- Dessert too, and drink. Rice cream and horchata
I enthusiastically bought a load of quinoa to diversify my grain cabinet.. anyone got some good (veggie) recipes?
Barley
Sorghum
Rice. But oats and lentils are nice too.
Rice. Staple since I could eat solid food. Can’t live without it
Pure.
Edit: Only on lemmy shitpost would the idea of pure grain be worthy of a downvote.
Barley
