Not a "cook" are you......

I know little about "wheat berries" but the others you mentioned need only one thing to be consumed, water.
All they need is a long soaking in water to re-hydrate them.

In order to survive one should not mix luxury with necessity. Food is a necessity, hot food is a luxury.
