Nutty Rice

Entered for safe-keeping, from "Favorite Brands Best-Loved Chinese Recipes & More". The wheat berries add flavor bursts and textural interest to the brown rice. This is a U.S.-family oriented recipe from the California Tree Fruit Agreement. If trying to transition to brown rice, I recommend that you pass up Uncle Ben's converted brown rice, and get Texmati Brown Rice, because the Texmati tastes so good, and UB's disappoints (your family would insist on white rice next time). If you don't have wheat berries, use 1 cup brown rice rather than 3/4 cup brown rice and 1/4 cup wheat berries. Alternatively to a stove-top saucepan, put ingredients into a rice cooker, stir with a wooden spoon, close and press Brown Rice button.
