wheatberries
Here’s my latest in grain exploration. Wheatberries aren’t actually berries the way, say, blueberries are berries. Wheatberries are entire kernels of wheat: bran, germ, and all. They’re kind of like round, chewy grains of rice. To prepare them, all you have to do is drop them in some boiling water for about 1 hour to 90 minutes, then drain them. They’re great for salads (e.g. with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, scallions, lemon juice, olive oil, and feta cheese) or even breakfast (scooped on top of yogurt with honey and fruit).
