Basic Cooked Wheat Berries image

A very chewy grain that can be cooked on the stove top or in a slow cooker. Cooked berries can be stored in the fridge for two days or in the freezer for a month. No you do not need to pre-soak. While toasting can be skipped we feel it improves the flavor.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but my wheat berries always turn out too chewy.

These wheat berries are a little bland on their own, but they're a great base for adding other flavors.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my wheat berries turned out mushy. Maybe I cooked them for too long.

These are a great make-ahead dish. I cooked a big batch on the weekend and then used them throughout the week in salads, soups, and pilafs.
