Description
If compared with modern wheat the ancient Khorasan KAMUT® wheat from biological agriculture has a more elevated protein and mineral salts content especially selenium, zinc and magnesium and is highly digestible. Selenium is a mineral known for its elevated anti-oxidant properties. The Khorasan KAMUT® wheat has such a high selenium content that 2 or 3 portions a day of a dish made based on Khorasan KAMUT® wheat can supply 100% of the daily recommended selenium intake.
Kamut is an ancient type of wheat today grown in vast territories in Canada and Montana, which are very rich in selenium. It was anciently grown by the Greeks and the Romans that brought it in Egypt. Kamut is a cereal greater and more nourishing than the wheat even if it is low in carbohydrates. Unlike the wheat, today normally grown, it hadn’t any selections or genetic improvements and for this reason it has maintained superior micronutrient and nutritional characteristics.
