Steps:
- Rinse the wheat berries in cold water. Place the wheat berries in a pot and fill with water 2 inches above the wheat berries. Bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat so the water is at a low boil. Cook the wheat berries for 1 hour. They should soften and plump up. After the hour, drain, rinse and cool the wheat berries completely.
- Mix the wheat berries with the diced apples, onion, raisins, and parsley.
- Make the vinaigrette by whisking together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, curry powder and salt until combined.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss until well coated.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds just before serving.
COCONUT-CURRY WHEAT BERRIES AND RICE
Wheat berries are one of the chewiest of all whole grains-soaking them overnight helps to soften them. They combine nicely with fluffy basmati rice in this Indian-inspired side dish.

Steps:
- Soak the wheat berries overnight in enough water to cover by 1 inch. Drain. Combine the wheat berries with 1 3/4 cups water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, adjust heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the wheat berries are tender but still toothsome, about 50 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Drain off any excess water. (Wheat berries can be cooked and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance).
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the curry powder and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to coat. Pour in 1 cup water and the coconut milk; bring to a boil, lower heat to medium low, cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and add the cooked wheat berries and raisins (no need to stir). Cover again and let sit off the heat for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cilantro, lemon juice and cashews. Serve warm.

CURRY WHEAT BERRY SALAD
I'm posting several wheat berry salad recipes because I love wheat berries and especially in salads. I found this recipe on a Canadian living website. Sounds great but I haven't made it yet. They also said this salad can be made with barley. Plan ahead, wheat berries need to be soaked overnight and that time is not included in the prep or cooking time here.
