Ingredients: Locally Grown:

• 1 cup organic wheat berries (I used rye)
• 8 cups water
• Oil for frying
• Salt or your choice of seasonings for flavoring
• Popcorn flavors work great and can be found at any grocery store.
• Wheat berries can be found at nearly any health food store or bulk food store.

Directions:

• First, cook the wheat berries to make them soft. 
• Place the wheat berries into the water in a large pot on the stove.
• Bring to a boil, then turn the temperature down and simmer for one hour. 
• Taste. 
• If you feel they need to be softer, cook until the desired tenderness is reached.
• Drain the water from the wheat berries and allow them to drain. 
• Next, pour your wheat nuts onto a paper towel or a hand towel and another to dry them thoroughly. 
• Pour into a bowl.
• Heat oil on the stove at medium temperature. 
• When you place a wheat berry into the pot, it will bubble when ready. Alternatively, you can put the edge of a wooden spoon into the oil, which will also bubble when it is done. 

Now The Berries:

• Place the wheat berries into the oil 1/2 cup at a time. 
• If your pot is small, use 1/4 cup. 
• The wheat berries will cause the oil to bubble up, and you want to be sure you have room for this without the oil spilling over.
• Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the wheat berries are crunchy, like a corn nut or chip. 
• Place on paper towel and pat down, place into bowl. 
• Finally, add seasoning and mix through your wheat crunch.  Enjoy!
• Keep in a sealable container.
