Recipe idea — Wheat Berry & Roasted Vegetable Salad: Cook 200g wheat grain (soaked overnight) for 45 minutes until tender but chewy. Roast cherry tomatoes, courgette, and peppers at 200°C for 25 minutes. Combine with cooled wheat, rocket, toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta, and a lemon-olive oil dressing. The chewy wheat berries provide satisfying bite and excellent nutritional contrast to the vegetables.

FAQs

What is the difference between wheat grain and wheat flour?
Wheat grain (wheat berries) is the whole, unprocessed kernel. Flour is made by milling the grain, which removes the bran and germ in white flour (removing most fibre and vitamins) or keeps them in wholemeal flour. Whole wheat grain has the highest nutritional value and most fibre of any wheat product.

Does wheat grain contain gluten?
Yes — wheat contains gluten. Not suitable for coeliac disease or gluten intolerance.

How long does it take to cook?
40–50 minutes after soaking overnight. Without soaking, 60–75 minutes. The grain should be tender but still chewy — not mushy.
