NotesIf you want to eat the koliva for breakfast you can soak them in a bowl filled with water on the morning of the previous day. Soaking is not necessary but it helps them cook in less time. Boil them the night before and refrigerate them until the next morning.You can adjust the quantities of the ingredients to your liking!The almonds and walnuts can be raw or toasted, depending on your preference.Traditional koliva are made with icing sugar.If you substitute toasted all-purpose flour for the chickpea flour, reduce the quantity to ½ - ¾ cups.If you're not going to eat the koliva right away, store the cooked wheat berries separately from the rest of the ingredients. Just before serving, mix one part wheat berries with one part of the rest of the ingredients and the sweetener of your choice.
