What it is
A whole wheat berry is the complete, unprocessed kernel of the wheat plant. It consists of three main parts: the bran (outer layer), the germ (embryo), and the endosperm (starchy part). Wheat berries are harvested from various types of wheat plants.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add whole wheat berries to products primarily as a whole grain ingredient. They provide fiber, essential nutrients, and a chewy texture. Whole wheat berries are commonly found in breads, cereals, salads, and other whole grain dishes.
Health notes
Whole wheat berries are considered a whole food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole foods like wheat berries as food additives.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Whole wheat berries contain gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
