Wheat berries

You could boil them and eat them like rice.

You could sprout them and use the sprouts in bread or other things.

They can be really nice in a thick soup - kind of like barley.

I used to make a healthy waldorf salad-inspired grain dish in summer. I am not one to use a recipe so the measurements are approximate, but with this you can play around with the ratios I would think:

--I would cook and cool the wheatberries
--add a chopped up firm, crisp, tart apple
--add a cup of dried cranberries
--about 2 tbsp minced fresh mint leaves
--a couple tbsp of extra virgin olive oil (I bet hazelnut oil or walnit oil would be really good too)
--add some fresh firm seedless red grapes cut in half

This was great and had a hearty chewy texture of the wheatberries with the crisp sweetness of the fruit.

I bet some slivered almonds would be good in it too for some protein.

I guess you are supposed to boil them for a really long time, like 1 and a half hours. Sounds like a good food for the crock pot!

mkidd, that sounds good!

It was really good. I should make it again. A little squueze of lemon on the apples lets you make a fair-sized bowl and keep it in the fridge for a few days w/o browning.
