Organic Kamut Flakes
What it is
These are whole grain flakes made from organic Kamut khorasan wheat. Kamut is an ancient grain, larger than modern wheat, with a rich, buttery flavor and a slightly chewy texture. The flakes are produced by steaming and rolling the whole grain, preserving its natural goodness. They offer a hearty and wholesome base for many meals.
How people cook with it
Kamut flakes are a versatile pantry staple, perfect for breakfast or as a component in savory dishes.
- Hearty breakfast porridge
- Binder for veggie burgers
- Added to baked goods
- Base for grain bowls
To prepare a simple breakfast cereal, combine one part Kamut flakes with two parts water or milk in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flakes are tender and the mixture has thickened. You can also toast the flakes lightly in a dry pan before cooking to enhance their nutty flavor. For other uses, they can be incorporated into stuffing recipes, added to cookie dough for extra texture, or used as a binder in homemade patties.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to rolled oats, Kamut flakes have a larger size and a distinct, slightly sweet, nutty flavor profile. Their texture is also chewier, providing a more substantial bite. This makes them a good alternative for those seeking a different grain experience.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for ancient grain options will find these flakes appealing.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Properly stored, they can be kept for an extended period.
