Made from green wheat that goes through a roasting process resulting in a mild smokey flavour. Freekeh has at least four times as much fibre as some other comparable grains. It also has a low glycemic index so is suitable for managing diabetes. To cook, rinse the grains first, add to a pot with three times more water or stock to freekeh. Allow to boil for 20-25 minutes and add a little more water if needed. Great for adding to salads, soups and stews! Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
