Eden Kamut Udon Pasta
What it is
This is a package of dried udon noodles made from 100% Kamut khorasan wheat. Kamut is an ancient grain, a relative of durum wheat, known for its larger kernels and slightly sweet, nutty flavor. These noodles offer a different taste and texture compared to traditional wheat udon. They are a good source of carbohydrates for energy. The pasta is processed with care to preserve its natural qualities.
How people cook with it
Udon noodles are a versatile staple in many cuisines. They can be enjoyed in a variety of hot and cold dishes.
- In savory broths
- Stir-fried with vegetables
- Served cold with dipping sauce
- As a base for noodle bowls
To prepare, bring a large pot of unsalted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried udon noodles and cook for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until they reach your desired tenderness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain the noodles thoroughly. They can then be rinsed under cold water if you plan to serve them cold, or added directly to hot soups and stir-fries. Adjust cooking time based on personal preference for noodle texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Kamut udon differs from standard wheat udon primarily in the type of wheat used. Kamut offers a distinct nutty flavor and a slightly chewier texture. Its larger grain size contributes to a different mouthfeel. The color may also be a bit more golden than conventional wheat noodles.

How to keep the rest
