Organic Wheat Grain 500g

Wheat grains or ‘berries’ can be used as an alternative to rice, or barley in soups and stews – the grain brings a delicious chewy texture. Wheat berries are more often seen in the USA than the UK – one great salad recipe incorporates cooked wheat berries, chopped red onion, chopped red pepper, a little feta, dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The wheat berries can also be added to a vegetarian chilli, in the place of mince.

Although not necessary, overnight soaking before cooking helps to soften the grain and reduce cooking time. After soaking, simmer for 1-2 hours. Wheat grain is a great source of both fibre and protein.
