What Is the Grain Kamut

Kamut ( Triticum polonicum) is an ancient form of wheat whose name originated from the Egyptian word for “wheat.” The grain was grown until the mid-twentieth century by farmers who prized its rich, nutty flavor.

What are the health benefits of Kamut?

Dietary fibre: As a great source of fibre – one cup of cooked Kamut provides 17 per cent of the daily fiber required for men, and 27 per cent for women. Meeting your daily fibre needs means you lower your risk of obesity, stroke, heart disease, high blood cholesterol, diabetes and helps maintain good digestive health.

How does Kamut taste like?

It has a buttery, nutty flavor and, because it is naturally higher in sugar, it has a sweeter taste than traditional wheat. Kamut berries have a chewy, firm texture and a bronze-gold color. They can be used interchangeably with barley, wheat berries, or even corn.
