Kamut Square

Kamut is an ancient relative of modern durum wheat, originating in the region of the Fertile Crescent. This ancestor of modern durum wheat has a naturally sweet taste, nutty flavor and nutritional qualities. This wheat is higher in protein and minerals, including selenium and the majority of people sensitive to modern wheat,  support it well, even if it contains gluten. This recipe of Kamut square is a delicious treat all will love.
