Discover Freekeh, the world's most nutritious ancient grain. This smoky green wheat is a versatile gem in Mediterranean cuisine, renowned for its health benefits.
The story of Freekeh dates back 2000 years to the hills of Galilee. To protect their crops from an imminent attack, villagers harvested their wheat while it was still green and hid it in a barn. When the barn caught fire during the attack, the villagers discovered that the roasted green wheat had developed a delicious smoky flavor. Named Freekeh, from the Arabic word to rub, this accidental discovery continues to delight palates to this day.
Experience the rich, nutty taste of vegan Freekeh, fresh from Galilee. It's a healthy alternative to rice and other grains, perfect for salads, stews, and pilafs. Taste the Mediterranean in every bite. 2 STARS GREAT TASTE AWARD WINNER 2019.
