Hi Carla, they should come dry (they’re found in the dried grains/rice aisle)

Are the wheat berries in a vacuum pack? I would open it and see if the berries separate once the vacuum is broken. Also smell them to see if there is an off odor. If you are at all in doubt I would not use them. The wheat berries I have are very loose in the jar, dry and separate. Hope this helps you, Pam

Is this normal? I am not even sure I can break it up it is so hard

Thanks

I love that! Stretching meat with substitutes like wheat berries, mushrooms, tofu– all great ways to save money and improve the health level of food. Thanks for sharing!

The most common use was to substitute at least half the burger in a given recipe: spaghetti, sloppy joes, tacos, pot pies.. She had nine kids to feed. Helped us stay healthy and full but made the dollars stretch too.

Wheat berries are great for breakfast with cream and sugar. Try it.
