VEGANS who call themselves foodies are the worst. Can't eliminate that high a percentage of your food options and still be considered a foodie.
Wheatberries work well in cold salads this time of year Berry

Do it with some fresh berries like blueberries and an aged balsamic, some herbs and such. They take to much of anything really.

Something less sweet more savory, make a lemon vinegarette, some ginger and garlic, with feta and olives and fresh tomatoes and whatever herbs you like with the combo. If you need it to store a bit, try marinating some oven roasted tomatoes instead of using fresh, as the fresh ones may cause the whole dish to get watery and that isn't good with wheatberries.
Thanks... I tend to go more towards savory

I had scallops with wheatberries and mushrooms last week at a restaurant and it was fantastic. Decided to add them to the line-up. I'll try your suggestion!

Soak overnight, discard water and let dry for a few hours, then cook in salted water for 15 minutes.

Next, its anything you want to do, such as -toss with caramelized onions, pecans, and a little pancetta and serve as a side.
I sprout them, grow them and then juice them....

What makes "berry" fancier than "kernel"? It is just what it is called, much like rapeseed oil is called canola oil. I think the people who sell it just feel they are more marketable names.
