Our first ancient grain, Khorasan Wheat Berries are single-farm whole kernels from Montana, golden and buttery from the sandwich loaf to the pasta board.
Description
Khorasan is the first ancient grain into our mill, and we have been looking forward to this one. Grown on a single farm in Montana and packed whole, its kernels are about twice the size of modern wheat. Mill them fine for a golden flour with a smooth, buttery flavor and a light sweetness, without the bitter edge some people taste in red wheat. It makes a soft, golden sandwich loaf that toasts well, and it does fine work in sourdough, pizza dough, and fresh pasta. It is just as good in sweet baking: cookies, cakes, muffins, pancakes, and pie crust. Khorasan is high in protein but its gluten is gentler than modern bread wheat, so the dough takes more water and feels wetter than you may be used to. That is normal. Use a loaf pan for structure, or blend it with hard red wheat for a taller rise. The whole grain also cooks up chewy and plump, and it holds its texture in a cold grain salad.
You may have seen Khorasan sold as KAMUT®. KAMUT® is a trademark of Kamut International for Khorasan wheat grown under their program, which requires certified organic farming. Ours is Khorasan grown outside that program, so we sell it under the grain’s own name.
Whole Berries for Your Home Mill
This is a provenance grain, not a blend. You know what it is, you know where it grew, and you decide when it becomes flour. We vacuum-seal our identity-preserved berries with a nitrogen flush in a heavy-duty bag, which pushes out the oxygen insects need and keeps the grain in good shape for storage. Keep a supply on hand and mill what you need.
