The name was given that name by Bob Quinn, Founder of  KAMUT® International. He wanted to assure the quality of the organic, heirloom grain, Khorasan wheat. KAMUT® is 1/3 longer than regular wheat and high protein. It is an ancient grain. Under the brand KAMUT®, consumers know they can trust this wheat will always be grown certified organic, will always be non-GMO, and will never be altered or modified. KAMUT® must be grown organically, have a protein range of 12-18%, be 99% free of contamination varieties of modern wheat, and 98% free of all signs of disease in order to carry the brand name. 

If you’ve never cooked it on the stove, it takes just under an hour. It can also be cooked in a slow-cooker on high 2-3 hours or low 4-6 hours, making it ideal for winter soups, pilafs, and breakfast cereals.
