So what. Doesn't matter, that just helps to thicken a vegetable beef soup,
makes it better... add a bit more liquid if one likes, stretches the meal.
And every poor student needs to keep an assortment of small pasta, various
grains like wild rice, and quick cooking legumes like lentils. If poor buy
broken wild rice, much less costly than perfect whole grains, just as tasty
and nourishing for like half the price. I'm far from poor and I still buy
broken wild rice, maybe why I'm not poor.
