Khorasan wheat

Khorasan wheat, also known as Kamut®, is an ancient grain that is a relative of modern durum wheat. It is thought to have originated in the Fertile Crescent and is now grown in various parts of the world, including North America and Europe. The grain is typically milled into flour for use in baking and other food products.

Khorasan wheat flour is used as a substitute for or in combination with regular wheat flour in a variety of baked goods such as breads, muffins, and pasta. Its nutty, slightly sweet flavour and chewy texture are prized by manufacturers. It can also be found as whole grains in cereals and grain mixes.

Khorasan wheat is a source of protein, fibre, and various micronutrients. As a grain, it is not considered a food additive and therefore does not have an E-number or require authorisation on the Register of Food Additive Authorisations. It is a whole grain and contributes to a balanced diet.
