Freekeh ~
An Ancient Food For Today's Vibrant & Healthy Lifestyle
HISTORY
In 2300 B.C., a nation in the Eastern Mediterranean expected an enemy to lay siege to their walled city.
They picked the green heads of their wheat and stored them to fight starvation. The green wheat caught fire and the outside burnt, however when the people rubbed the heads of the wheat, delicious green grains were exposed which they called 'freekeh.' In the ancient Aramaic language freekeh means 'the rubbed one.'
Ever since that time, the people of the Eastern Mediterranean have eaten freekeh. Now thanks to unique Australian technology, you too can enjoy the delicious flavor and nutritional and health benefits from this great product.
AND, TODAY.... WHAT IS FREEKEH?
Freekeh (pronounced free-ka) is a new super food and ingredient. It is 'roasted green grains.' Freekeh is a process and not the name of a grain variety.
Freekeh is 100% natural! The grains are harvested while still soft, young and green, then parched, roasted and dried. The process captures and more importantly retains the grains at the state of peak taste and nutrition. Green grains are very different in properties to mature grains. The entire process is natural and only uses fire and air. No additives or preservatives are used. Freekeh is free from GMO.
ABOUT GREENWHEAT FREEKEH™
Tony Lutfi, Managing Director of Greenwheat Freekeh™, is the first in the world to harvest and treat this grain and is the leader in research on green grains and it's nutritional value. Instead of harvesting traditionally, he developed a technology that can reap the grain when it is still green. He started the company back in the 1990s.
"Freekeh is not a variety of grain. It is in fact any grain. To be able to call it freekeh, what you need to do is when you harvest the grain, when it's still soft, young and green, you need to immobilize the grain - the enzymes in the grain and basically stop it from maturing without cooking the grain. So, Freekeh is effectively the captured and nutritional value retained in the grain when they're green." Tony Lutfi, Managing Director
