Do let me know what you come up with! Joy - THANK YOU for the chili recipe. I hope Santa brings a copy of Almost Meatless my way. ;) Marie - They're not so similar to pearled barley, which is what I generally buy. I think as far as both texture goes, the rye berries are very similar to farro, with a pleasant, chewy bite and a very nutty flavor. Ann – I hope you try and enjoy them!

It truly does give it a meaty, rich mouthfeel without meat. And it doesn't taste peanutbuttery. I'm e-mail it to you. Jennifer,

I've even stopped, picked up the package, but then put it back on the table. Thank you for the inspiration -- I was thinking only about grinding the berries, not using them whole. I'm going to go take a look through some of my whole-grain cookbooks, to see if I can find a recipe that will let me justify the purchase of the rye berries at the farmers market tomorrow.
