What it is
Organic Kamut flour is made from a variety of wheat that is ancient and has a distinct, rich flavor. It is a whole grain flour, meaning it contains the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel. Kamut is grown organically, without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming whole grains like Kamut at typical dietary levels.
