About Kamut

Kamut, an ancient grain believed to have originated in the Fertile Crescent, is a type of Khorasan wheat prized for its rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture. Renowned for its nutritional value, it is packed with protein, fiber, and a variety of essential minerals including magnesium, zinc, and selenium. Kamut is also a source of complex carbohydrates, providing steady energy, and contains higher protein levels than conventional wheat, making it a favorite for athletes and health enthusiasts. Often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, Kamut can be enjoyed in salads, soups, breads, or as a rice alternative. It is naturally low in fat and cholesterol but should be avoided by individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as it is not gluten-free. Its nutrient density and satisfying flavor make Kamut a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
