wheat berries

Unprocessed grain seeds

Wheat berries are whole wheat kernels—the entire grain with only the inedible outer hull removed.

They retain the bran, germ, and endosperm, making them more nutritious than processed wheat products.

Chewy and nutty when cooked, wheat berries appear in salads, soups, and grain bowls: I simmered the wheat berries until tender.
