I got this from the food bank and I have no idea how to use it, the Internet is no help either, help?

Think of it as pasta, rice, potatoes... Make a sauce or season it to your liking

Add a handful or two to anything saucy you're making. E.g. soups, stews, chillies, curries etc.

It's not entirely unlike adding beans.

I get that I boil it but.... Then what, do I just eat them like hot cereal? What is this stuff?

Add it to soups, stews, pasta dishes to add protein. Use it to replace ground beef.
