About Freekah
Freekeh is an ancient grain originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, made from green durum wheat that is harvested early, roasted, and cracked. This nutrient-rich food is a powerhouse of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron, making it an excellent addition to a balanced diet. High in fiber and boasting a low glycemic index, freekeh supports digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Its smoky, nutty flavor enhances salads, soups, and side dishes, while its unique texture makes it a satisfying alternative to rice or quinoa. Freekeh is low in fat and contains prebiotics, which promote gut health. However, as it’s a wheat product, it isn’t suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Versatile and wholesome, freekeh is an excellent choice for those looking to incorporate nutrient-dense whole grains into their meals.
