Make wheat berries in the Instant Pot, then use them as a nutty add-in or main ingredient for nearly any meal. They make a nice side dish, but can also be used in whole grain salads.

Ingredients
6 cups water
2 cups wheat berries
½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Directions
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add water and wheat berries; stir once. Close and lock the lid. Select Manual pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions and set the timer for 27 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes, then switch to the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Drain wheat berries and mix in salt.
Tips
Place a thin hand towel over the Instant Pot vent before flicking it open. I like to set my Instant Pot on a cool stove with the overhead vent on to pull the steam out of the house.
