Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Kamut Stone Ground Flour
What it is
This is a whole grain flour made from 100% organic Kamut khorasan wheat berries. Kamut is an ancient grain known for its large kernels and rich, nutty flavor. The flour is stone-ground, which means it is milled between granite stones. This traditional milling process helps to preserve the natural oils and nutrients found in the grain. It is a versatile ingredient suitable for a variety of baking and cooking applications.
How people cook with it
This flour can be used in many recipes where traditional wheat flour is called for. It adds a unique flavor and texture to baked goods.
- Baking bread
- Making pasta
- Creating pancakes
- Thickening sauces
It can often be substituted cup-for-cup in recipes, but for best results, especially in yeast breads, you might consider using a blend of this flour with other flours. It absorbs liquid a bit differently, so adjust hydration as needed. It lends a lovely golden hue and a subtly sweet, nutty taste to your creations, making it perfect for both everyday baking and special occasions.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard whole wheat flour, Kamut flour has a larger kernel size and a distinct, slightly sweet, buttery, and nutty flavor profile. The stone-grinding process also contributes to its unique texture and flavor retention.
Who it is for
Home bakers and cooks looking for an alternative whole grain flour with a distinct flavor and texture.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, it can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. Ensure it is well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption and potential spoilage. Proper storage will help preserve its flavor and quality for future use.
