Wheat berry is a husked whole kernel of wheat with its nutritious bran intact. It’s a nice break from pasta or rice. I buy it in bulk and keep it in my freezer, where it will last for over a year. Most supermarkets carry wheat berries, and you can always find them at a health food store.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the wheat berries. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook just until tender, about 45 to 50 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain off the excess liquid. Place the wheat berries in a serving bowl.

2. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking oil and place over medium heat. Cook the corn, stirring frequently, until it begins to char, about 5 minutes over medium heat. Stir in the broccoli and red pepper. Cook for 4 minutes, or just until the vegetables begin to soften. Transfer to the bowl with the wheat berries.

3. Whisk the juice concentrate, vinegar, olive oil, honey, sesame oil and garlic in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the wheat berry mixture and toss to coat. Garnish with the cilantro.
