I purchased a bag of wholewheat berries by mistake. Either I picked up
the wrong bag (think I was grabbing wheat germ) or I got the two mixed
up in my mind. I bought the bag planning to use it when I make
granola. The berries are hard, and I figure if I put them in my
granola which I bake they will even become harder. Are berries the
actual grain, and I could cook them like cereal, and once they are
softened I could put them in the granola without them getting hard
again. Is there another use, other than just adding them to something
like meat loaf or other cassaroles.

Thanks

Tom
