I never soak wheat berries prior to using. I'm not sure exactly what kind
I use (hard or soft) but they look like plump rice kernels and take about
45 minutes to cook. They make a great breakfast: cook with half of the
cooking liquid as water, half as juice (I like to use apple) - or maybe
less if you don't like sweet things - spices like cinnamon, and some dried
fruit. It's great hot or cold.
