- Has a rich fatty acid profile and more protein than common wheat
- Is high in selenium (immune health), manganese (bone and brain health), magnesium (blood pressure control, bone health), phosphorus (important for kidney function) and zinc (aids digestion, hormone balance and helps prevent common cold)
- Is rich in carotinoids (antioxidants)
- Is always grown organically and is nonhybridized
- The fiber content in whole grains aids in cholesterol management and helps regulate digestion.

To prepare Kamut:
- Soak kamut grains overnight.
