An aromatic grain packed with protein and fibre, freekeh is rich in flavour and texture. It’s simple to cook and is delicious in a risotto, pilaf, soup or salad.
Freekeh is a young green wheat that is harvested in the spring and flame-roasted before the husks are rubbed off.
Freekeh retains a wonderful texture in cooking, making it ideal for pilafs, risottos and salads and it’s delicious as an accompaniment to roasted vegetables and meats. Traditionally it is slowly simmered in stock for a nourishing soup – a Palestinian staple for centuries.
In 2017, Zaytoun’s green wheat freekeh was awarded a prestigious Great Taste Award.
