I learned this simple way to get the family accustomed to eating whole wheat. Add a little cooked wheat as an ingredient to most meals. Especially breakfast.
Start small. Put 1/2 cup of wheat in a food thermos. Top up with boiling water. In 8 hours, drain the freshly cooked wheat a colander. Store in the fridge.

Where to get a food thermos
Garage sales often have wide mouth thermos flasks for about $4.
There are often several for this price at Russel’s Recycling AKA the dump shop.
Briscos, The Warehouse and other similar stores sell wide mouth thermos flasks for $25. Although the best are stainless steel, you’ll have to preheat your thermos flask if it is not the cheaper plastic type.
