Slightly sweet, yet slightly tangy; this wheat berry salad is a delicious combination of spices, flavors, and textures. It combines chewy wheat berries with chickpeas, raisins, sundried tomatoes, spinach, lemon juice, and spices. Serve it warm on a cool day or serve it chilled on a hot day; both ways are great!
Wheat Berries are a hearty, whole grain that have a nutty taste and chewy texture. Not only are they a great source of fiber (6 grams per ¼ cup uncooked), but they also have as much protein as a serving of quinoa (7 grams per ¼ cup uncooked)!
