MINT AND FRUIT WHEAT BERRY SALAD

I just think sometimes, skip the grinding and use the whole grain! Right? So…here’s a nice cooked wheat berry salad. VERY WHOLE. I mean, it really doesn’t get much whole-r than this.

So really, after I ate this for dinner, I felt full, satisfied, healthy, happy, and my stomach digested so well. No uncomfortable bloating (for eating whole wheat), or weird gurglings.

You should try this. It’s like rice, but it’s not rice. It’s wheat. Did I mention it’s a whole grain?
