Organic Cracked Freekeh 4 Pound Bag
Freekeh is an ancient grain whose name derives from the ancient Aramic language. The word "farik", meaning rubbed, describes a natural process discovered 4300 years ago which uses fire to capture grain at peak taste and nutrition. The process begins with harvesting wheat while still young, soft, and green. The grain is then dried naturally prior to being roasted over an open fire. Once roasted, the wheat goes through a further rubbing process to give it uniform color, texture and flavor. We have "cracked" the grain to shorten the cooking time and to enhance the taste and texture of the grain even more.Free of chemicals, preservatives, and anything genetically modified, freekeh brings to the American consumer a grain that is healthy, easy to prepare, and is more nutritious than traditional rice or pasta.
