Organic Kamut Grain is a very special and ancient grain.
Organic Kamut Grain is one of our most popular products. It is an ancient cereal grain which is part of the wheat family, yet is different from modern wheat because it has been cultivated in the same way for centuries without being modified.
It has a rich buttery taste which goes well in a wide range of dishes. Try using Kamut in grain salads full of fresh herbs and olive oil.
The name Kamut is actually a trademarked description of khorosan wheat. It has been controlled in this way because it is such a unique ancient variety of wheat. It can only bear the Kamut name if it strictly meets the requirements of this special grain.
For a product to be labeled as Organic Kamut, it must come from ancient Khorasan wheat without any modern breeding. It also needs to be certified organic and at least 99% free from contamination by modern wheat varieties. Additionally, it must have a protein content ranging between 12% and 18%, ensuring its nutritional quality meets strict standards.
