What is the simplest way to cook wheatberries?

Ingredients:

* 1 cup wheatberries, rinsed

* 3 cups water

* Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the wheatberries, water, and salt (if using).

2. Bring to a boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

3. Reduce heat and simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the wheatberries are tender but still slightly chewy.

4. Drain and serve: Drain any excess water. The wheatberries can be served hot or cold.

Tips:

* Soaking: For a more tender wheatberry, you can soak them in water overnight before cooking. This will shorten the cooking time by about 15-20 minutes.

* Salt: Adding salt to the cooking water can help enhance the flavor of the wheatberries.

* Flavoring: Once cooked, wheatberries can be flavored with butter, olive oil, herbs, spices, or other ingredients.

* Storage: Cooked wheatberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
