i've made bazillions of these. any whole grain can be used. i think that flaxseed and rice are the two most common. i've always used rice. i prefer jasmine rice because it smells really nice when you heat it, but plain white rice works fine and is inexpensive.

I've seen them with lavender and sage too.
