What’s a wheat berry? It is a whole-wheat kernel composed of the bran, germ, and endosperm of wheat. In other words, it’s the edible portion—the whole wheat kernel without the outer shell. They are available in major supermarkets and health food stores. In addition to being high in nutrients, they taste great and make for a great conversation starter with your friends!

  2. Use a quick pressure release. Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, vinegar, oil, garlic, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
