Description

Kamut Flour

Kamut flour is a type of flour made from the whole grain of kamut, also known as Khorasan wheat. This ancient grain has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, which adds a special and unique touch to the recipes in which it is used.

Origin: Kamut is a wheat of Egyptian origin that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Currently, its production has expanded, especially in the United States and some European countries, though it is still valued mainly for its ancient character and nutritional quality.

Properties: Kamut flour stands out for being rich in protein, B vitamins, and minerals such as selenium, magnesium, and zinc. Furthermore, it has a higher content of healthy lipids compared to common wheat. It is an interesting alternative for those seeking nutritious ingredients with a more natural profile, although it contains gluten and is therefore not suitable for those with celiac disease.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Khorasan wheat flour, kamut wheat flour. In some countries, it may also be referred to simply as "ancient wheat flour" or "heritage wheat flour," although the term kamut is the most recognized and commonly used.

In cooking, kamut flour is ideal for baking, pastry making, and pasta production, providing a smooth texture and a unique flavor that makes your recipes stand out.
