Again, you look at me as if I constantly am freezing things, but I am yeah, so with a catering event you certainly can freeze. Brown rice quinoa. I've not done sorghum, but I don't think it'd be any different. I don't need a lot of sugar, um there are a couple of different ways you can do it typically spread it on a sheet tray and freeze it as quickly as you can in a single layer, then it will also thaw significantly faster. Don't just take your giant pot and put it in the oven or excuse me in the freezer with with risotto's and such you can get them to You know 90% done and then just finish them day of that works pretty well. Whole grains all make wonderful risotto's on that same page. All right topic. Yeah wheat berries make great. I made a wonderful oat grout one time for a catering event in a giant pot. So yeah. Oh great Oak Grove is essentially the whole grain version of oatmeal oatmeal is also oh Grange, but if it rushed, yes, but if you so it's it's even more whole than the Steel cut because it has not been cut at all. So that's always fun. Yeah how to do a all local event in Maine in November and there was a potato blight that year. So Oak growth was our peel off of choice. We don't grow now, of course, we grow tons and tons of beautiful grains. Yeah and a large part of that is we have a very large influx of Somali in eastern African immigrants here that are bringing a lot of their, you know, traditional food products to Maine and growing them here on farms. Thus making everyone's life better. So but yes Marcy to your question very specifically. Yes, you can absolutely freeze them putting them in, you know, security was saying small portion bags, you know can be a waste of plastic if you can do it on a sheet tray as I know. You've got some for your for your catering operations. That's the best way to do it maybe put a piece of wax paper or parchment paper on top of it just to protect it from drying out. You don't want to you dehydrate it freeze dry it Etc. But yeah, absolutely. There's no reason why you can't do that. It's not going to affect the Integrity or the flavor too much. So if you don't have the freezer space you can also Just a giant rice machine rice maker and almost any grain Works in a rice maker. Also. Yeah and cook it very quickly without having to really pay much attention to it some that's the whole point of them.
