KAMUT

An unadulterated, older variety of cereal from ancient Egypt, the grains of kamut are often three times the size of modern wheat. It is high in protein as well as rich in amino acids and vitamins. It is higher in protein and unsaturated fatty acids than modern wheat, and tastes much better.

As farmers began using hybridised wheat after World War II, kamut almost became extinct. However, a few grains were discovered in a crypt in Egypt and ended up in America—Montana is the home of an abundance of organic wheat such as kamut. Most people with intolerances to wheat have no such reaction to kamut. Available in a flake, flour or the grain, kamut contains gluten, but most of us tolerate it.
