Wheat berries are the edible part of the wheat kernel before undergoing any processing. They have a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. These little gems are high in fiber and have been shown to reduce inflammation and boost metabolism.

- 1 cup dry wheat berries
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups frozen, shelled edamame, thawed
