The "Ancient Grain"
Kamut grain is an ancient relative of modern durum wheat and originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Old World thousands of years ago. After a long period of oblivion, this grain was rediscovered and has now found an important place in contemporary diets. Superior in both taste and nutrition, it can be substituted for common wheat with great success. Kamut wheat has a rich, buttery flavour, with normally 20-40% more protein, a higher profile of amino acids, lipids, vitamins and minerals, and is easily digestible. A hard amber spring variety with a huge humpbacked kernel, it grows best in most regions where durum is traditionally cultivated. This grain is unscathed by modern plant breeding programs which have sacrificed flavour and nutrition for higher yields dependent upon large amounts of synthetic agricultural inputs. Because of the inherent sweetness of kamut grain, (referred to by some as "the sweet wheat") no sugar is required to hide the subtle bitterness associated with most wheats and whole wheat products.
