Freekeh
A truly delicious, nutritious grain that can be "dressed up" or eaten just as is. I also appreciate being able to support Canaan and Fair Trade.
Canaan’s Freekeh comes from naturally organic Palestinian 'Anbar wheat from the Marj Ben Amer fertile plain area known as the breadbasket of Palestine. This wholesome specialty passed down through generations is flame-roasted green wheat that is sun dried, crushed, then rolled or rubbed (freekeh comes from the word 'to rub' in Arabic) to further separate the husks. Since the wheat is harvested green, it is naturally higher in nutrients, especially fiber and protein. It is a hearty grain with a smoky taste and firm texture. Serve alone, as a salad with fresh vegetables and dried fruit, a hearty soup, or together with roasted vegetables, meat, or seafood.
Ingredients: flame roasted, dried green wheat. 250g box.

Intrigued by your website description, I decided to try this " green grain" and also gave some to a friend who had grown up in Lebanon and later worked in Jerusalem. We were both delighted by the flavor and texture. Thank you for encouraging me to "think (and eat) outside the box"!
Discovered freekeh through a Koinonia order, and I love the stuff. So satisfying and nutritious. You can add all kinds of things to it but really I like it all by itself, it is very flavorful and a nice texture.
This is another of my go-gifts for my foodie friends. They rave about the quality and flavor. My sister lived in the Middle East for several years and really appreciates quality, authentic ingredients for her dishes.
This is a very high quality brand of freekeh. With freekeh in particular as far as grains go, the quality really matters. So this is a top brand to pick. I’ve started substituting it for rice and it has a beautiful smoky flavor that I love. 10/10 recommend!
I eat whole grains every day and I'm so glad I found this one. The texture is lovely, alone or in combination with vegetables, and the smokey flavor is both subtle and distinctive. It cooks quickly, freezes well, and thaws quickly. I'd been warned by friends that the quality of freekeh products can be variable, but the quality of Canaan freekeh is excellent. I also appreciate the fact that every step from growing to distribution appears to be done in a socially conscious manner.
