Precooked durum wheat grain (Ebly)

[Guest guest]

I'm still looking for this product that was announced a few years ago.

If you see a box of Ebly " tender wheat " at an import grocer or health food

store, grab it. it's supposedly a lower carb alternative -- might be something

diabetics could add to their diets.
