Zaytoun Green Wheat Freekeh- 200g

hearty, smoky, nutty

Zaytoun Green Wheat Freekeh is a nutrient‑packed ancient grain made from young durum wheat that is harvested while still green and then flame‑roasted to develop a distinctive smoky aroma and rich, nutty flavour. This hearty grain delivers a chewy, satisfying texture and naturally smoky notes that make it a delicious and wholesome base for pilafs, salads, soups and risottos, or a hearty side dish with roasted vegetables or grilled meats. It brings centuries‑old Middle Eastern culinary tradition to modern kitchens with both depth of flavour and versatility.

Traditionally simmered slowly in stock for nourishing soups or stirred through vibrant grain bowls, freekeh also pairs beautifully with citrus‑bright dressings, herbs, nuts and seasonal vegetables. Whether used as an alternative to rice, bulgur or quinoa, it adds character and substance to everyday cooking while reflecting the rich agricultural heritage of its origins.
