What is Kamut? 

Kamut is a type of ancient wheat that's more nutritious than conventionally grown grains. It's also called Khorasan wheat or Pharaoh grain, owing to the fact that grains were discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs.



How is it different than regular wheat? 

Kamut is rich in protein, approximately 30% more protein than wheat. Since it has a slightly higher fatty acid content, this grain can be considered a high energy grain. It is immensely beneficial with its stock of Vit E, Magnesium, Zinc, Phosphorus, Thiamin etc. However, it has to be noted that it has less fiber than wheat. It is easy to digest though.



What is Organic Cracked Kamut® Khorasan Bulgur Wheat? 

Kamut® Khorasan Bulgur Wheat is a quick cooking form of whole Kamut grain that has been cleaned, parboiled and dried. The result is a nutritious, versatile product with a pleasant, nut-like and buttery flavor with an extended shelf-life that allows it to be stored for long periods.



Is it the same as cracked wheat? 

Bulgur differs from cracked wheat in that it has been pre-cooked. It is ready to eat with minimal cooking.



Is it considered whole grain?  

Yes, it has the 100% Whole Grain stamp.



How do I use Perfect Sense Kamut with Chia Roasted Tomato? 

It can be cooked and used in recipes calling for converted rice. It can be used in place of rice or couscous; as a pilaf; in soup, stuffing or casseroles. It is an ideal food for a vegetarian diet because of its nutritional value and versatility.
