Berry or just a grain?
This item is exactly what wheat, barley or other cereal growers calls grain. Why call it a berry when that use is extremely rare and completely corrupt and misleading? Isn't wheat berry isolated entirely to USA cooks? Wiki should not be used to cement in poor slang.Ericglare (talk) 08:09, 28 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Why is the seed called a "berry" despite not being surrounded by wet flesh that is characteristic of real berries and tomato fruit? -- J7n (talk) 14:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
One etymology source indicates that berry and wheat grain were used interchangably in the 19th century, possibly when the wheat grain may have been used for making tea (see teaberry). Another etymology source presents various culinary uses beyond making wheat flour, suggesting that berry was a more common food shape and use of the wheat grain. Neither of these sources is definitive enough, in my view, to have a useful etymology section in the article. Zefr (talk) 14:41, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
When the words used are "May" and "Suggests", it could hardly be called a reliable resource and is not definitive. The source quoted is someone making wheatgrass which is a new phenomenon.
