Works great in a vegan chili. Both are cheap when you buy them bulk. The wheat berries take a while to cook but a pressure cooker cuts the time quite a bit.

I've been doing this for the past 10 yrs or so. It seems to be enough for myself and my husband when i do this. People still cant believe that i still do this after all these years and they try it out in thier households and thier family doesent have a clue lol.

It is great in chili and spagetti sauce and other similar dishes. Also we use cauliflower in spagetti sauce and spinach in lasagne...I don't even miss the ground beef now...don't like it anymore.
