Honey Wheat Berry Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with honey and whole wheat berries. The wheat berries are the whole, intact grains of wheat, which contribute a chewy texture and a wholesome flavor. The honey adds a touch of sweetness that balances the earthy notes of the wheat. It is baked into a soft loaf, suitable for everyday enjoyment. The bread is pre-sliced for convenience.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile staple for many meals. It can be enjoyed simply on its own or as a base for various toppings and fillings.

To enjoy this bread, you can use it directly from the package for sandwiches or toast. For toasting, place slices in a toaster until golden brown.
