Whole Grain Freekeh

Freekeh or Farik is an ancient grain. Sort of. It’s not a grain, it’s a process. A cereal food that is made from green (harvested earlier) triticum durum that is still soft when harvested.

The Farik is then sun dried and set on fire to burn the dried stalks of grain (straw) and the husks (chaff) to roast.

The wheat is then threshed (threshing is to loosen or separate the edible part) and sun-dried. This “rubbing” process is the origin of the name Farik (to rub in Arabic) or Freekeh.

Freekeh is a grain harvested earlier than other wheat. This brings a healthier, flavorful option to wheat.

Cook and eat like you would rice, quinoa, amaranth, barley, spelt or emmer. Like quinoa it has been all the rage the “new next best thing” for you. We view it as another great option and when paired with your meal it can add the twist you are looking for.
