Kamut® grain

The name "Kamut® grain" (pronounced Ka-moot) is taken from an ancient Egyptian name for wheat. Legends abound as to how Kamut® grain brand grain arrived in the US in the first place. Some accounts say a US Airman took a few kernels from a stone box in an ancient tomb in Dashur, Egypt shortly after W.W.II. These kernels made their way to a Montana wheat farmer who grew them as a novelty for several years. The novelty wore off and the grain was all but lost, only to be rediscovered in the late 1970's.

Although the tomb story could never be substantiated, we do know that Kamut® grain brand wheat is an ancient grain that has not been hybridized and is higher in vitamin E and eight of the nine minerals usually found in wheat; and it contains up to 65% more amino acids than other grains.

Because Kamut® grain is higher in lipids and protein than common wheat, it is said to be "high energy." Its superior nutrition makes Kamut® grain an ideal training and endurance food.
