    in a pan with 1/2 cup of rinsed wheat berries, adding a dash
    of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for one
    hour til tender. Drain and cool for salads. There are different
    methods, including some that soak the berries over night. Rinse
    the wheat berries and place in a bowl with a cover. Add water to
    cover the berries by 2 inches or so. Stand at room temperature
    for 8 to 10 hours. Drain, then use as directed.
