What is Wheat?
It is a whole grain that is cultivated in many forms like hard or soft, red or white, winter or spring wheat. If you want to take advantage of this healthy whole grain food but dislike its bitter taste, consider hard white
winter wheat, spelt, or kamut. These are sweeter tasting wheats.
Taste

Health Benefits and Nutrition
Cooking wheat berries is an excellent choice if you want to incorporate whole grains into your diet and boost your nutrition. Hard red spring
wheat tops our whole grain comparison charts for protein (1st place) and fiber (3rd). It is similar to
the hard red winter variety, nutritionally, except the hard red spring type has 20% more protein. It is also higher in niacin, thiamin, and
manganese than other whole grains. To see how hard red spring wheat compares, nutritionally, to other whole grains click on our
whole grain list.
It is a great source of minerals, and vitamins which contribute to high energy levels, proper digestion, and a
healthy nervous system. Its combination of high protein and fiber make it the perfect health food for building
and maintaining a healthy body while lowering cholesterol, promoting regularity, and preventing
high blood sugar levels.
How To Cook Wheat Berries?
Add 1 cup of rinsed hard red wheat to 3 cups of water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil and simmer 45-60 minutes. Fluff with fork and let stand 5 minutes.
