Also known as Khorasan wheat or Pharaoh’s wheat, Kamut (which means grain in an ancient Egyptian dialect), is a high-energy grain that was re-established in the late 1960’s by an American farmer, it has since been trademarked to protect the integrity of the grain and any products must comply with a number of strict specifications to carry the name.

Kamut looks much like regular wheat but the kernels can be more than double the size, they also contain 30% more protein, have a high Omega-3 content, elevated levels of vitamin-E, thiamin, riboflavin, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, pantothentic acid, copper and complex carbohydrates so is a very healthy grain! Kamut can generally be eaten by people with gluten sensitivities so it is a fantastic alternative to common wheat.
