KAMUT® Brand Khorasan Wheat (OG) - Kosher

KAM-10

Description:

This ancient relative of modern durum wheat, KAMUT® Brand Khorasan Wheat is a non-hybrid grain; two to three times the size of common wheat. The history is interesting: in 1949 a U.S. airman acquired 36 kernels, from a friend who claimed to have taken them from a box in a tomb near Dashare, Egypt. He sent them to his family in Montana where they grew the grain but found there was no market for it. After a long period of oblivion, one jar of the grain was rediscovered thus leading to the value of this unique grain.

Given the trade name "Kamut" which is an ancient Egyptian word for wheat, KAMUT® Brand Khorasan Wheat is nutritionally superior to wheat and can be substituted for common wheat with great success. KAMUT® Brand Khorasan Wheat has a rich, buttery flavor, and firm chewy texture. which makes it a nice substitute for Rice or Wheat Berries in salads, casseroles, pilaf, and stuffing. Described as a "high energy grain," KAMUT® Brand Khorasan Wheat is high in protein, fiber, and minerals and is considered an Heirloom Grain.
