Tried this recipe – it was very tasty and interesting with the wheat berries – i tweaked it a little (added a brunoise of two varieties of radishes and cucumber) – it’s a keeper – we had it two nights in a row! My husband also really enjoyed the taste. Thanks for this! I enjoy your food blog as well. Keep up the good work.

Hi Patty,

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad you love this recipe as much as I do keep spreading the love (and wheat berries)!

I came across your blog looking for Terry Wakefield from Bissenger’s Chocolates and saw your interview. Love the blog and have told a lot of my friends about it. I have made this recipe twice in two days and am IN LOVE. This is so delicious and have shared the recipe around my area. We are all enjoying wheat berries now…they are delicious and I can’t wait to try more recipes with them. It’s nice to see recipes from the west coast and I am having a dinner party soon to make dumplings with an assembly line…fun!

This is a great example of coming up with something incredible from next to nothing. Such great textures and tastes, and beautiful, too.

This sounds fabulous, I love fruit, nut and vinaigrette combinations. They go well in almost anything and the wheat berries would provide an nice chewy texture.

Great question! Farro is an ancient cousin of wheat, while Wheat Berries are whole kernels of wheat. Cooking time for farro is less than wheat berries, I suspect b/c it’s often sold “semi-pearled,” meaning the bran has been partially rubbed off. This could also explain why wheat berries have a chewier texture.

Despite differences, the flavor of both is similar and this recipe could certainly use one or the other!
