Whole wheat kernels. High in fiber and protein.

available year-round
How to prepare
Must be soaked for 8 hours then cooked for 1 hour. Used in pilafs and casseroles or as an alternative to croutons in salads. "Must be added to SOMETHING. They are so high-gluten that if you try and eat cooked wheat berries by themselves, it is like chewing on cartilage."
