It is washed and drained and cooked with meat. Green wheat is highly nutritious and is considered a superfood. This dish is still popular in Iraq. For more flavor, traditionally it is served with a roasted whole chicken that is placed on top of rice on a platter. You can substitute chicken with pigeon or lamb too.
