Kamut Grain, Organic

Kamut Grain, Organic

Whole Kamut® (pronounced ka-moo) is a non-hybridized hard spring wheat. It is an ancient relative of modern durum (semolina) wheat that develops a very large kernel. Kamu®t has a rich, buttery flavor and chewy texture. Kamut® has 30% higher protein than wheat, is richer in magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E. Contains gluten, but many wheat sensitive people eat it without reaction.

Kamut® is great served hot or cold, as a marinade in salads. Try cooked Kamut® mixed with rice, black beans, cilantro, garlic, red pepper and tamari.

INGREDIENTS: Organic Kamut® Grain.

• Cooking instructions: Add 1 cup Kamut® to 3 cups boiling water. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours. Or use pressure cooker and only cook for 35 to 45 minutes.
• Azure Farm is located in the foothills east of Mt. Hood with a fantastic view of the Cascades and farm land in the valleys below. This is wheat growing country where dry-land farming produces an abundance of soft white wheat and other grains. But what makes our farm different from most other wheat farms is our growing practices. We’ve been growing organically for over 25 years, and are attempting to go beyond basic “organic” (which only ensures which harmful things have not been used). We try to keep up with organic soil amendments that will actually improve our soil, and consequently improve the food itself.
• Any items with the Azure Farm label which are not grown on Azure Farm, are from farms which we know have been growing organically for many years, doing whatever they can to ensure healthy soil, so the food on your table is also healthy.
• Why go organic? Organic foods are grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Organic foods are not genetically modified. Organic foods are grown in soil that is nurtured, not treated... which means top soil, groundwater, rivers, lakes, streams, watersheds, fish & wildlife, and people are not compromised. Healthy food grows in healthy soil. You can often taste the organic difference!
