Pairing principles
What pairs well with Wheat Berries?
Use acidity or fresh herbs to relieve the grain’s density, savoury mushrooms or onions for depth, and dairy to soften its chew. Keep some intact kernels when texture is central, and supply an explicit binder when turning cooked grain into dumplings, cakes or slices.
