Freekeh is an ancient grain made from young, green durum wheat that is roasted and cracked, originating from Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. Packed with nutrition, freekeh is a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron. Its low glycemic index supports steady energy levels and blood sugar management. Freekeh is naturally high in prebiotic fiber, promoting gut health and aiding digestion. It contains complex carbohydrates, making it a great option for sustained energy. Freekeh is also relatively low in fat and free of cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice. However, as a wheat product, it contains gluten, so it is unsuitable for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. With its nutty, smoky flavor and versatility, freekeh is a nutritious addition to salads, soups, and grain bowls.
