What could you substitute for wheat berries?
Where is the nutritional information i.e. number of calories, grams of carbs, sodium, ect?
Hi Iavonne. We are working hard to add nutritional information to all of our recipes. We expect this feature to be rolled out in coming weeks/months. Stay tuned!
Excellent combination of colors and flavors!! I added orange slices for the topping. We loved it.
I enjoy the healthy recipes
Nice combination of flavors!
This was a very tasty combination of flavours. The vinaigrette is delicious.
What can you substitute for wheat berries?
I really like Farro and it might be a good substitute for the wheat berries.
I would try quinoa or barley ☺️
This is a delicious dish and absolutely beautiful. I made a single big salad to sit out for company and it went over extremely well. After this one, I’m excited to try out some other recipes from the site.
