Bring back ancient grains to your kitchen with these 15 healthy and delicious Freekeh recipes from registered dietitians!
Have you heard of ancient grains or been wondering why you should eat them? They are grains that have been around for ages but are coming back to modern kitchens – and for good reason! There is so much nutrition packed in each ancient grain and many health benefits to be gained from them. You can check out my post on 10 Ancient Grains You Should Be Eating for more information.
If you’ve follow my blog you know I’ve been doing a series of RD curated recipes featuring each ancient grain from my 10 ancient grains post. I’ve already featured amaranth, barley, bulgur, and farro. Today the star ingredient is Freekeh!
A traditional grain of the Middle East and Northeastern Africa, Freekeh, also known as “Green Wheat”, is made from roasted young wheat. It is high in protein and fiber, and low in available carbohydrates (making it low on the glycemic index).
Freekeh’s flavor is nutty and chewy, and it takes about 20 minutes to cook – making it a great addition to pilafs, soups and stews. Below I’m sharing dietitian created freekeh recipes so you can get started cooking with ancient grains in your kitchen!
