Kamut

Kamut

EverydayDry

Kamut is a trademarked variety of ancient khorasan wheat, recognized for its large golden kernels and nutty, buttery flavor. This nutrient-dense grain contains up to 40% more protein and minerals than modern wheat varieties, while maintaining a firm, chewy texture when cooked. Though often used similarly to whole wheat berries in salads and pilafs, it retains its protected certification as an organic, non-hybridized grain. Like all wheat, Kamut contains gluten and is unsuitable for celiac diets.
