Wheat Berries
The term wheat berry refers to the entire wheat kernel, comprising the bran, germ, and endosperm. Wheat berries have a tan to reddish brown color and are available as either a hard or soft processed grain. Since the wheat kernel is left intact, virtually none of the nutrients are stripped away. A cup of cooked wheat berries has about 300 calories and is packed with fiber, protein and iron. The tasty sprouts are also loaded with vitamin E, a cell-protecting antioxidant, and magnesium, which is good for healthy bones and muscles.
Executive Chef & Proprietor Ken Baker creates an Autumn Salad with these nutritious grains to celebrate the color, flavors and textures of the fall harvest…“In the Kitchen” at Pachamamas in Lawrence, KS.
