Freekeh the Wonder Grain
In 2300, B.C., a nation in the Eastern Mediterranean expected an enemy to lay siege to their walled city. They picked the green heads of their wheat and stored them to fight starvation. The green wheat caught fire and the outside burnt; however, when the people rubbed the heads of the wheat, delicious green grains were exposed which they called “Freekeh.” In the ancient Aramaic language, freekeh means “the rubbed one.”
Ever since that time, the people of the Eastern Mediterranean have eaten Freekeh. Now, thanks to unique Australian technology, you too can enjoy the delicious flavor and nutritional and health benefits from this great product.
Freekeh (free-ka) is a new super food and ingredient. It is “roasted green grains.” Freekeh is a process and not the name of a grain variety.
Green wheat Freekeh is 100% natural. Free from any chemicals, preservatives or GMO (genetically modified organism), Freekeh is considered to have low glycemic index and is high in “resistant starch.” Some studies indicate that resistant starch (which acts more like a fiber than a carbohydrate) may play a role in weight management - making it an excellent food for weight loss. And, because the grains are harvested while still young, Freekeh retains more protein, fiber vitamins, and minerals compared to traditionally processed wheat.
