I'm wanting to stop having rice as my staple and try something else.  I was thinking to try wheat however I never heard that people eat pure wheat daily like they eat pure rice daily like in the far east.  What I mean to say is wheat is often associated with bread, biscuits, cereals which have extra ingredients which I want to avoid and I don't think you want to eat those as part of the main meal anyway.  I know it comes as pasta and sphaghetti but i'm not sure if that is the correct way to eat it as a staple?  Have people traditionally cooked wheat like they would rice or has it always been used as pasta and sphaghetti but never as a staple like rice has in the far east?  I've just seen a bag of wheat grain at my supermarket so I'm thinking do I just get it and cook it like rice but since this is unheard of(at least to me) as a staple I'm wondering if there's something wrong with it? 
I make my own bread. Flour, water, yeast, salt. Nothing else. You could most certainly eat "your daily bread." Pasta is flour and eggs. You can also put dumplings into stew and chili - these are flour, milk or water, salt, and leavening like baking powder. So there is definitely no need for your wheat intake to include extra ingredients you would want to avoid.  If your old preference was for a meal of some sort of stir fry or saucy stew served on rice, you could most certainly make the very same thing and serve it on pasta (with or without eggs) or put it in a bowl and have a slice or two of bread with it and dip the bread in the sauce. Or you could add dumplings to a stew or soup, or add pasta to a soup (typically cooked separately).   You can also buy cereals - hot smooth ones like "cream of wheat" or cold ones  eaten with milk - and have wheat as part of your breakfast every day. Or have jam or peanut butter on toast. Have a sandwich for lunch, or a hot cooked sandwich (like a grilled cheese, but with egg or meat) for dinner sometimes. Including bread in meals is very common in home cooking and eating. You just don't see it in cooking magazines or TV shows, or in restaurants.
