Kamut
Kamut is an ancient Egyptian word for wheat. A relative of modern wheat, it is prized by many for its buttery flavor, which is due to its high fat content, compared to other grains. It is growing in popularity as an alternative to traditional wheat sources because it is considered nutritionally superior to many other forms of wheat.
Compared to common wheat, Kamut is richer in protein (by between 15% and 40%), minerals such as magnesium and zinc, Vitamin B's and Vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, but contains a little less dietary fiber. Kamut provides much energy and is appreciated by people with active lifestyles. It is easy to digest and is generally well tolerated by those with a sensitivity to gluten. Kamut flour is not refined or bleached, and thus retains all its nutritional qualities.
