i just got back from the organic bulk store with a bunch of different grains. The store-bought mixes always seem to smell stale to me, so i thought i would supplement with some fresher stuff and give more variety. My three girls were all up, so i tried a 'taste test' with a few grains of each kind separately. Here are the results in case anyone is interested:
-flax seed -- HUGE hit (will only give in small quantities though)
-buckwheat -- also a big hit
-rye -- okay
-quinoa -- some interest
-wheat, barley, spelt, millet -- no real interest, but i know they will eat them eventually
Unfortunately, i tried the flax seeds first, and that was such a huge hit, that i think they kept just looking for more of it. Anyway, their favourites seem to change fairly often. (They used to hate broccoli, and now they all like it. They used to love dried raspberries, and now 2 of them don't anymore.)

. Mine love Pine nuts. My Dad actually like Flaxseeds and adds it to his food. Nest time he's over, I should ask him for some as a treat for my clan!!
