is it grainy like bran?

I assume you mean wheat bran & I've never eaten that by itself, so I can't compare that to bulgur. The bulgur in this cereal is large grain with a coarse very nice chewy texture-it's a whole grain. You could buy a small amt of bulgur at a store selling in bulk if you want to see what different grinds are like- eg fine, medium or coarse. Many health food, upscale supermarket chains & Middle Eastern groceries carry the 3 types. The Hodgson Mills is just a box of coarse bulgur, they used to have soy grits in it.

A little, yes. If you don't like to have any husk in your bulgar, I suggest Trader Joes brand,

I used it as is, but didn't like the taste as much as other grains. I prefer rice or quinoa, but the teff was okay.

Hard to describe, maybe a bit musty/grain like? When it was new it was quite strong, I put a few drops of mint essential oils to make it more refreshing. After a few months the odor is very faint and doesn't bother me.

It's the slightly sandy, gritty form of semolina not a semolina patent flour -- more the consistency of a finely ground corn meal. So, "fine-ish?" But definitely not silky like flour.

You will need to temper it. Just google "tempering shea butter". As I understand from my reading, the graininess is caused by the fatty acids that solidify at different temperatures. Shea and mango are particularly prone to graininess.

It is a powder and could be a littte grainy. You can use cinnamon sprinkle along with the powder in order to improve the taste. Good Luck

Yes it does. It's a bit grainy. I was so so on the flavor but then again I didn't use a blender. Just used the blender bottle. With ice it might be better.

Yes the texture is denser in the Whole Grain Cream of Wheat. There are no nuggets per se, but its pretty different from regular. Taste is less refined. It's also healthier (12%) of your fiber. I never eat regular Cream of Wheat when I can help it.

Nope... See their web site: http://www.bobsredmill.com/faqs.htmlThese are old-line grains. Wild type... It's an aquired taste. I cut mine with a decent whole wheat flour .. What you do... I like the stuff and ordered it more than once, as I recall. I have not used it in over a year and a half now but I suspect the formulation is the same

No. The texture is like thin wood. It was hard for me to break in smaller pieces for my dog and when I did, my dog still did not chew on it.

It's fairly comparable. It's a little grainy, because it has the magnetic particles in it, but that's about it. The liquid glass is the "softest," but they're all pretty pliable.

Hi Janet - I haven't used it like oatmeal but I cook it and use in salads. I simmer it in salted water 40-45 minutes, drain and rinse and its ready to go. This is *not* the semi-pearled variety most commonly seen in the US. The pearling process wears off some of the nutritious bran layer so it cooks a little faster. This wheat is not pearled, so it retains all its nutrition. A bit of extra cooking time seems a small price to pay for whole, nutritious, not to mention yummy, grain. Try searching on "einkorn porridge". I found a recipe that said to pulse the grains in a blender prior to cooking. This cuts the cooking time in half and may be what you're looking for.

I tried it directly out of the jar just to see what it would taste like and it is a grainy taste and texture. I put about 2 T in my morning smoothie and really don't taste it. It does not have a "honey" like taste.

It is not cracked, it's whole grain, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as "long grain." It looks the same as other whole grain, uncracked wild rice I've used. Be careful, because the same company sells cracked wild rice in a package that looks almost identical, at a lower price. I haven't tried it yet. The quality of this rice is much better than the small boxes available at grocery stores, at about half the cost.

It's not really fine white. It's more like ground up grains. Def not seeds tho

You have to chew it, like a really soft gummy. It's not grainy. You will have to ask the company about the carb calories.

Mine was hard as well but as soon as you open it will be as it should be- grainy and light. Its kind of like vacuum packed coffee.
