What it is
This is whole grain kamut, an ancient wheat variety. It is a type of grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. The kernels are large and have a chewy texture. It is a plant-based food that is minimally processed. This product is certified organic, meaning it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a good source of carbohydrates.
How people cook with it
Kamut can be used in many ways, similar to other grains. It adds a unique flavor and texture to dishes.
- Cooked as a side dish
- Added to soups and stews

To cook kamut, rinse the grains thoroughly. Combine one part kamut with three parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until tender and the liquid is absorbed. You can also soak kamut overnight to reduce cooking time. Once cooked, it can be served warm as a side or cooled for use in salads and other dishes. It can also be added to bread dough or muffin batter for added texture and flavor.
