Whole wheat grain
I think instead of wheat you mean whole wheat grain.
Pearl barley
I live in the UK and discovered that this form of wheat is called "pearl barley".
Belila is DELICIOUS!
I recently had this in Egypt--it was probably my favorite new food from there! It's really great at breakfast, and I believe the coconut offered to us was lightly toasted. I am so happy for a recipe and can't wait to make some of my own! Thank you!
