Have you ever seen Kamut kernels in a whole foods markets? These big nutruent dense grains are becoming more popular in the USA as a great alternative to wheat. The large honey-colored grains are similar to Durham wheat. Kamut is, in fact, a genus of wheat known as Triticuman turgidum.According to Leslie Beck, RD, Kamut is a good source of selenium, an antioxidant mineral that may guard against development of certain cancers. The daily selenium requirement for adults is 55 micrograms and Kamut offers up to 90 micrograms per half-cup serving.



Kamut flour is not bleached or refined so it is an excellent choice for those switching to whole grains. Kamut can be added to pancakes, muffins, sweetbreads and homemade breads. One of the easiest ways to eat Kamut and benefit from the nutrition it offers is to prepare a breakfast cereal made from Kamut.
