Organic Kamut Whole Grain Spirals
What it is
These are spiral-shaped pasta made from 100% whole grain Kamut Khorasan wheat. Kamut is an ancient grain, known for its large kernels and nutty, slightly sweet flavor. The whole grain aspect means it retains all parts of the wheat kernel, including the bran and germ, contributing to its texture and taste. The organic certification indicates it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The spiral shape is designed to hold sauces well.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for many meals. It works well in both hot dishes and cold pasta salads.
- In hearty pasta bakes
- Tossed with pesto
- Mixed into cold salads
- Served with a simple tomato sauce
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Kamut spirals 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 thoroughly. You can then toss it immediately with your favorite sauce, olive oil, or butter to prevent it from clumping. It is ready to be served as a side dish or as the base for a main course.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard durum wheat pasta, Kamut spirals offer a distinct nutty flavor and a slightly chewier texture. The whole grain composition also provides a darker color and a more robust taste. It is a good alternative for those seeking a different grain profile in their pasta dishes.

How to keep the rest
