Millet, Spelt, Cranola, ....
There's many grains you can put in pillows π.
Although you generally use the chaff.

I've heard good things about buckwheat
Fucking trust me on this - roasted radishes.
Try it and thank me later.
Edible insects! They yummy!!! πππ
And there are many established culinary practices for cooking them from vastly different cultures, so there's also a good variety of recipes you can find and try out!
what food item are people sleeping on
I sleep on a mattress, actually.
Yeah, but I've got chip crumbs on mine
I've really been enjoying chia seeds recently. They are great in smoothies. Spinach too, it's essentially undetectable so you can just add a handful of either. Works great in any type of smoothie, and feels like "dessert" even when it's just fruits and veggies and seeds. Plus, you can freeze (or buy) frozen produce, or freeze what you can't eat, so it keeps for ages.
Unflavored yogurt tends to work best, imo.
Charcuterie plates
Cold cuts, cheeses, fresh/dried fruit, vegetables/pickled vegetables, bread/crackers, etc.
Make whatever plate combination you're in the mood for from a variety selection, i like to stock about 3 options from each category to feel like I have choices
Girl dinner is trending if anything, not exactly being slept on.
Fair π I focused on easy/low prep and availability in Germany which brought me to the german deli/bakery I used to go.
Do r our food in your bed. It will be gross, and be very uncomfortable for sleeping.
How do you feel about oatmeal? It's healthy and has much more potential for adding flavors to than most people ever consider. It's pretty neutral and makes a good canvas for other flavors.
For example, you can add cheese to make something like a healthier Mac and cheese. The starch makes it sort of creamy.
But you might want to upgrade from rolled oats to steel cut oats. You get much more "tooth" to your oatmeal and not just mush. Unless the mush is what you like. You can also use whole oats for even more "tooth".
Steel cut oats in my instant pot every morning. 1:2 oats to water, a little vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, 4 minutes high pressure with 10 minutes natural release. It doesn't take long until it's just a habit you never want to break. Your colon will thank you.
Sumac. Put that shit on your winter baked potatos peeps, you're welcome
hay.
Rice cooker saved my life. I add whatever I have lying around that doesn't require cooking like ham, pickles, canned veggies or fruits, fresh or dried fruits, etc, and if I'm feeling fancy I might boil eggs. Plus mushroom sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or soy sauce. If you can find black rice in asian supermarkets it's even better.
Green beans!
Spices! Smoked paprika, curry sauce and spices, turmeric, southwest seasoning, garlic everything!
Where would I be without smoked paprika
Gochujang paste - Korean fermented red pepper paste. It has a really tasty, slightly spicy flavor, that tastes great in soup/ ramen or coating noddles/pasta.
Rule of thumb: whatever amount of a spice a recipe calls for, double it.
I did that once with bay leaves, that soup was...so mildly off.
I have absolutely no idea what difference bay leaves make. I keep putting them in things, mainly due to blind allegiance to the recipe, but if you put a gun to my head and demanded that I describe the taste you'd just have to shoot me 'cause I wouldn't be able to it.
(The fact that the leaves are too tough to eat by themselves to understand their flavor doesn't help either. Maybe I should try grinding one into a fine powder or something.)
In normal amounts, they add a sort of pleasing background note. They mostly help other seasonings feel more rounded.
When placing a bunch in, it tastes...off. Bad? Strong in a bad way. Overwhelming other tastes.
Soups. Find Cooks Illustrated Best Soups cookbook. Learn to make and can your own broth. It doesn't change everything but it changes a lot.
lentils! chick peas! beans! legumes in general, they are great! you can integrate them into anything...
(ie. cook a bunch of lentils to eat warm with whatever veggies you can steam... but leftovers the next day are turned into a salad, etc. )
For a healthy and affordable diet: beans, rice, bread, collards, kale, mackerel, salmon, sardines, raisins, oatmeal, almonds, and chicken.
Cotton sheets here. So, I guess the food I'm sleeping on is long sugar chains?
