TIPS & NOTES Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the cooked wheat berries for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month; refrigerate the prepared salad for up to 1 day. Tips: Wheat berries are whole, unprocessed grains of wheat. Varieties (hard, soft, spring or winter) can be used interchangeably. Labeling is inconsistent-you may find them labeled "hard red winter wheat" without the words "wheat berries." Find them in natural-foods markets and online at kingarthurflour.com. To toast pecan halves, spread nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. NUTRITION Per serving: 316 calories
