InHarvest Kamut Blend
What it is
This is a blend of grains that features kamut, an ancient wheat variety known for its large kernels and nutty flavor. The blend typically includes other whole grains, offering a complex texture and taste. It is a versatile pantry staple for those seeking wholesome and flavorful additions to their meals. The grains are pre-selected for a balanced culinary experience.
How people cook with it
This grain blend is excellent for adding substance and a unique flavor profile to a variety of dishes. It can be used as a base for main courses or as a hearty side.

To prepare, rinse the blend thoroughly under cold water. Combine the rinsed grains with water or broth in a pot, typically at a ratio of one part grains to two parts liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Cooking time can vary, but it is generally around 30-45 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to common rice or quinoa, this blend offers a chewier texture and a more robust, nutty flavor due to the inclusion of kamut. The combination of different grains provides a more complex mouthfeel and a broader spectrum of tastes than a single grain.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Ensure the container is well-sealed to protect the grains from moisture and pests.
