NOTE: We are temporarily not allowed to call this product “certified organic”. Just prior to the COVID-19 crisis, Breadtopia moved to a new facility and now, due to health safety concerns, all organic certification inspections have been put on hold in our area. Our prior facility was certified organic and our new one will be as soon as inspections begin again. Until that time, know that we are still sourcing exactly the same certified organic grains from the same producers we always have, and we are packaging and milling with the same procedures we have always used. We just can’t call it “certified organic” until we can get our new facility inspected and certified.

kamut wheat stalksKamut® is an ancient grain and the brand name for khorasan wheat, a large amber wheat grain closely related to durum. Kamut® is appreciated for its smooth, buttery, nutty flavor, and its high protein and nutritional content.

It contains a high mineral concentration especially in selenium, zinc, and magnesium with 20-40% more protein compared to modern-day wheat. It has a higher lipid to carbohydrate ratio, which means the grain produces greater energy and has a natural sweetness to counterbalance the occasional bitterness present in traditional wheat.

Kamut® grain is naturally resistant to pests and can be more easily grown organically than most other types of wheat. This grain is “untouched” by modern plant breeding programs which appear to have sacrificed flavor and nutrition for higher yields dependent upon large amounts of synthetic agricultural inputs.

Kamut BerriesEven though this wheat variety contains gluten, it has been found to be more easily digestible by people who may have slight allergic tendencies. If you are allergic or sensitive to traditional wheat, this may be an acceptable alternative, but do check with your doctor first before you try it.

Kamut’s flavor and nutritional attributes make it excellent in breads, cereals, cookies, crackers, pastries, waffles and pancakes. The actual wheat grains can be soaked and used in salads. Kamut is also available as freshly stone ground kamut flour and used to make superior pasta.

More information on Kamut® is available on the official Kamut website.

    I’m new to Kamut flour. I like the flavor, nutritional value and that it has not be changed into a hybrid grain. It is easy to work with and the breads, cakes and cookies turn out great!

    Breadtopia delivered a great product quickly.

    I make a excellent sourdough with this and hard white 50/50, I love the flavor and the fact it’s very nutritious is icing on the cake

    I have been adding this to spelt sour dough – 20% adds a nice sweetness and golden color. I have not tried 100% kamut sour dough yet. I did try 100% kamut pasta – it rolled very nicely and looked really good but broke into pieces in the boiling water. I still ate it and it was delicious – it was like someone cut my pasta for me ( which I hate). I tried making cavatelli with it – just would not work. I probably should try 50/50 with hard white wheat. The flavor is exceptional.

    Kamut makes a wonderful alternative to pasta. I cook the berries in the pressure cooker, and they are plump, toothsome, and delicious. The cooking water makes a delicious broth, too. You can top the cooked berries with anything you would normally put on pasta – grilled vegetables with goat cheese is a particular favorite at my house.
