Equipment

  • Insulated Thermos

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dried wheat berries
  • 3-4 cups boiling hot water
  • 1 large insulated thermos

Instructions
 

  • Pour dried wheat berries into an insulated thermos.
  • Cover wheat berries with boiling water. Leave enough room for them to expand.
  • Place the lid on the insulated thermos and let soak for 12 hours.
  • After soaking time is complete, drain the wheat berries.
  • Place drained wheat berries in a small pot and cover with water. Simmer until soft but still al dente. (Depending on the type of wheat berry, this may take anywhere from 30 minutes - 1 hour).
  • Store cooked wheat berries in the refrigerator until ready to use. I like to warm them in the microwave with a bit of water, non-dairy milk, or vegetable broth and any herbs or spices.
