Did you know?
Kamut is an ancient wheat variety thought to be thousands of years old, sometimes called “Egyptian wheat.”
It’s prized for its nutty flavor and higher protein content than modern wheat.
Kamut is often better tolerated by some people sensitive to wheat, but it still contains gluten.
It is rich in selenium, which helps protect cells from oxidative damage.
Drawbacks ⚠️

It is a carbohydrate-rich grain, so mindful portioning is important for blood sugar management.
More expensive and less widely available than common wheat varieties.
