Thanks for the responses! I really like the grain's texture and running it through the blender makes it sort of a sticky mess. As a whole grain, it is a new addition to our diet; you can almost treat it like pasta if you cook it right.

sarbar, if it is easy to dry, then I'll just go back to the full bran I have for the test. I tried the pearled because of the 15 min cook time and I thought even that was pretty good. I can give the leftover pearled to my son (who will not cook something for 45+ min) since he liked it so much.
