- To cook the wild rice, boil 6 cups of water and add the rice, simmer until just tender, but still firm, about 30 minutes. Add more water to the pan if necessary. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- To cook the farro, boil 6 cups water and add the farro, boil until tender but still firm, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- To cook the quinoa, rinse well, then boil 6 cups water and add the quinoa. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the little 'tails' have sprouted. Drain and rinse with cold water.
