I bought wheat berries from bulk food section. I don’t know which type I bought. I was just looking for lowest price so I could try this. I soaked them with the lentils. I tried a small amount in the food processor and could not grind them. I then put them in a pot and cooked them for awhile. Then I was able to grind them with food processor. I think the Neanderthals and other hominids may have cooked the grains before mashing them. It would make it easier.
