kamut
Egyptian heritage cereal
Kamut is a trademarked name for Khorasan wheat, an ancient grain variety with large kernels and a buttery, nutty flavor.
The grain is higher in protein than modern wheat and has gained popularity in health food markets, appearing in breads, cereals, and pasta.
Though sometimes marketed as easier to digest, it still contains gluten and is not suitable for those with celiac disease.
I switched to kamut pasta for its richer taste.
