Then there is my favorite, buckwheat (groats), often called "kasha" I use it instead of rice and pasta. Add water in 2 to 1 ratio (more if you like softer) and gentle heat for 18 to 20 min. Good peasant food. We buy it by the kilo in the local "russian" deli.
You can also do that with other grains as well. I like doing it with barley thrown in the liquid with a braised beef roast.
