Kamut

Kamut is a prized ancient grain, known for its rich history, exceptional taste, and health benefits. Originally grown in ancient Egypt, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia, it fell out of widespread cultivation until its rediscovery in the 1940s. A US airman found kamut kernels, allegedly from Egyptian pyramids, and sent them to his father, a wheat farmer. After successful cultivation and a county fair display of “King Tut’s Wheat,” kamut made its way back into the commercial market. Today, it’s grown in Montana, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, reviving a piece of history with every harvest.

Kamut’s flavor is a standout: buttery, nutty, and slightly sweet. It’s twice the size of modern wheat kernels and has a satisfying, chewy texture when slow-cooked. As a flour, it makes for denser yet finer baked goods. Kamut works beautifully in everything from breakfast cereals to salads, snacks, and side dishes, offering a delicious way to enjoy an ancient grain in modern meals.

Health-wise, kamut offers impressive benefits over contemporary wheat. It contains 30% more protein and significantly higher levels of zinc, manganese, phosphorus, and Vitamin E. Research suggests that it can help lower bad cholesterol and regulate blood sugar levels, making it a great option for those managing diabetes. Kamut is unmodified and grown without pesticides, and its lower gluten content means that people sensitive to wheat might be able to enjoy it without discomfort.
