wheat berries and rice

I recently found Rice River Farms Calico Blend of whole grain blends of rice including, wild, brown, and red rice and also includes wheat berries.

I love this blend, and especially wheat berries. Wheat berries are actually the wheat seed and are very nutritious as well as full of fiber and protein.

Wheat Berries are small seeds that swell during cooking. So make sure they are done and have reached they full "swelling" potential before eating them.  You might want to keep this dish for maintenance meals. It's very easy to cook, that's the best part.  

A serving of 1/4-cup of wheat berries contains 139 calories. Wheat berries expand when you cook them and are quite filling; making them a good choice. Each 1/4-cup of wheat berries also contains over 5 g of hunger-busting fiber -- a healthy way to fill up our little pouch!

For more recipes with wheat berries, look under the recipe section. 

Available at Fresh Market.
