Freekeh, roasted green wheat, 500g bag

Freekeh, flame-roasted green wheat, is an ancient grain grown in the Canaan region. Its production begins with harvesting the wheat before it is fully ripe, followed by sorting and cleaning the grains, then drying in the sun. The crucial phase occurs with the burning of the wheat ears, giving the Freekeh its distinct, smoky taste. After roasting, the beans are vigorously beaten to remove the burnt husks, revealing the green wheat inside. The result is a firm texture and a unique taste, enhanced with a slight nutty note. Used versatilely in cooking, Freekeh provides a nutritious and delicious alternative to traditional cereals. This whole-grain cereal retains its fiber-rich outer layers, helping with healthy digestion and blood sugar regulation. In addition to being an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium and zinc, Freekeh also offers several B vitamins. Its fiber promotes balanced digestion and helps control appetite.
