Directions
Step 1
Rinse the wheat berries under cold running water using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 2
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed wheat berries, water, and salt.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Cover the pot with a lid and let the wheat berries cook for 50–60 minutes, or until they are tender but still pleasantly chewy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once cooked, drain any excess water using a sieve or colander.
