I made it a couple of times as pilaf. My daughter thought it was rice the
first time that I made it. It did taste kind of like rice. But... It
didn't work well for me because it raised my blood sugar too high, even
though it is purported not to do that. And now my daughter can't have it
so... I don't make it any more. You do have to be careful when cooking it.
Either buy a brand that claims not to need rinsing, or rinse the heck out of
it before cooking. Otherwise it could be bitter.
