Kamut Khorasan Wheat

Kamut Khorasan Wheat is an ancient grain, a variety of wheat that is genetically distinct from modern common wheat (Triticum aestivum). It is believed to have originated in the Fertile Crescent and is known for its large kernels and nutty, buttery flavor. The grain is typically processed into flour or used whole in various food products.

Kamut Khorasan Wheat is often used as a whole grain or flour in baked goods like breads, pastas, and cereals, providing a distinct flavor and texture. It is also found in snack bars and other convenience foods, where it contributes to the nutritional profile and adds a wholesome appeal.

Kamut Khorasan Wheat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. As a whole grain, it is a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components, but specific evaluations for Kamut Khorasan Wheat may differ. Evidence suggests it offers similar nutritional benefits to other whole wheat varieties.
