Eden Organic Kamut Elbow Macaroni
What it is
This is a package of organic elbow macaroni made from 100% whole grain Kamut Khorasan wheat. Kamut is an ancient grain that has a rich, nutty flavor and a firm texture. The whole grain version means that the entire kernel of the grain is used, including the bran and germ, which contributes to its wholesome character and slightly darker color compared to refined pasta. It is a good source of carbohydrates for energy.
How people cook with it
Pasta is a versatile pantry staple that can be the base for many different meals. It pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and ingredients.
- As a side dish
- In pasta salads
- As a main course
- In baked dishes
To cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Kamut elbow macaroni and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, butter, or olive oil, and served as a side or as the foundation for a main dish. It also holds up well in cold pasta salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard wheat pasta, Kamut elbows offer a distinct nutty taste and a chewier texture. The whole grain aspect provides more of the grain's natural components, making it a heartier choice than pasta made from refined flour.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused, cooked pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Uncooked pasta should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its freshness.
