EDEN Organic Kamut Flakes are roasted and rolled in Nebraska. Whole Khorasan wheat is sprayed with filtered deep well water and gas flame roasted in a ceramic kiln. The roasted grain is pressed into flakes on stainless steel rollers. The flakes are packed at Eden's AIB 'Superior' rated facility in one pound reclosable standing pouches. Nitrogen flushed for freshness.

Khorasan Triticum turanicum is an ancient grain with plump golden kernels that are about 3 times the size of modern wheat. Sometimes called King Tut's wheat, kamut is native to Asia Minor and Egypt. It is closely related to spelt and a distant relative of durum wheat. Introduced to America by an organic farmer in Montana in the 1940s, Khorasan wheat is a rare non-hybrid grain offering the highest protein of any wheat. EDEN Organic Kamut Flakes are not a wheat free or gluten free food. However, because its protein is easier to digest, many people with sensitivity to modern wheat find that they can enjoy Khorasan wheat.

Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."

According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers," "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors," and "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." EDEN Organic Kamut Flakes are low fat, saturated fat free, cholesterol free, and sodium free. They are an excellent source of manganese and a good source of dietary fiber, protein, iron, thiamin (vitamin B1), niacin (B3), and magnesium.
