You could grow hulless oats. Bountiful gardens sells a hulless variety
(online: bountifulgardens.org), and also hulless barley. I've grown small
amounts of both in an urban garden, just because I wanted to try them, and
they are in fact hulless. There's still a light chaff that needs separating,
as I recall, but no hull.
Barley has got to be one of the most gorgeous grain plants I've ever seen -
especially sparkling with dew.
