Description
Our Organic Cracked Freekeh is a flavorful, high-fiber and whole grain food. It's made using a traditional roasting method which gives it a chewy texture. Freekeh adds a subtle smoky flavor to salads, pilafs and all other dishes.
The ancient freekeh grain is a traditional food that originates from the Middle East and Northeastern Africa. This grain cooks up quickly, has a high fiber content and is a great source of manganese
For stovetop cooking, combine 2 ½ cups water with 1 cup Organic Cracked Freekeh and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring water and salt to a boil and add in the freekeh. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low then simmer for 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
Enjoy a simple freekeh recipe by tossing the hot cooked grains with lemon juice, olive oil and fresh herbs. You can also make a hearty hot cereal by topping your freekeh with milk, honey, nuts and fruit.
This Freekeh Pilaf with Apricots and Almonds is a slightly more unique freekeh recipe and is sure to please a crowd. It takes just 10 minutes to prep and incorporates ingredients like chopped onion, sliced almonds, diced dried apricots and freekeh, of course! Spices like cloves, cumin and coriander round out the flavors and a hint of lemon juice offers a burst of brightness. You can also whip up a big bowl of our Lemon Mint Freekeh Salad, which can easily be served as a main dish. Pine nuts and garbanzo beans add some hearty nutrients to this recipe, while the flavors of lemon and parsley steal the show!
Whether you're using freekeh for hot cereal in the morning or enjoying a make-ahead freekeh recipe for lunch, we hope you love the green wheat freekeh as much as we do. This flavor-filled grain might be lesser known than some of its other ancient grain relatives, but its certainly just as delicious!
