Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kamut easier to digest than regular wheat?

Some people report finding Kamut easier to digest, possibly due to different gluten structure than modern wheat. However, it still contains gluten and is NOT safe for celiac disease. Individual tolerance varies.

Why is Kamut always organic?

KAMUT is a registered trademark that requires the grain be grown organically and meet specific quality standards. If it's not certified organic, it can't legally be called Kamut - it would be labeled Khorasan wheat.
