Khorasan

Khorasan is an ancient hulled wheat (often sold as Kamut) used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines and increasingly popular in artisan breads, salads and pilafs for its nutty flavor and firm texture. It is valued by bakers and cooks who want a whole-grain wheat with a distinct taste and chewy bite. Nutrition-wise, Khorasan supplies a good amount of whole-grain carbohydrate and is a notable source of dietary fiber, providing 7.5g of fiber per 100g, along with meaningful plant protein and trace minerals such as selenium and manganese. Its fat content is low and the protein it provides has a relatively favorable amino-acid profile compared with many other cereal grains. From a health perspective, Khorasan is a wholesome whole grain choice—especially when used instead of refined wheat—bringing fiber and higher-quality grain protein to meals; it is not, however, a major source of polyphenol or carotenoid antioxidants compared with colorful plant foods.
