FYI: Wheat berries are the whole-wheat grain with the nutritious germ and bran intact. Wheat berries can be ground into flour or cooked and served in place of rice or pasta in casseroles and salads. They can also be used in chili, curry, soups and stews.

Wheat berries, sometimes labeled hard red wheat, may be found in the bulk section of natural food stores. Currently, they cost about 79 cents per pound.

To cook raw wheat berries, use a 2-to-1 ratio of water to berries. After the water comes to a boil, cover, reduce heat to the lowest setting and refrain from opening the lid to see how they are doing. Removing the lid lets water escape and the berries may not get thoroughly cooked. They are done when still chewy - dont expect them to be soft.
