A wheat berry is a whole wheat kernel which is made up of the bran, germ, and endosperm. It’s a true whole grain, meaning It is high in fiber and packed with nutritional benefits. It has a nutty flavor, and a crunchy and chewy texture that seems to pop as you bite into it. It also holds up well, so you can make a big batch to keep on hand to add to salads, soups, or use in place of rice. Wheat berries normally take a long time to cook (and dried black beans, too), but in this recipe, you can cook them together in the Instant Pot and cut their cooking time in half!
