This green fire-roasted coarse-grain wheat is harvested while it is young so it retains more protein and vitamins than most other grains. Easy to prepare and so versatile. You can prepare it vegetarian style or offer it with lamb, beef or chicken. The easy to follow recipe is in our book, Classic Lebanese Cuisine.
Freekeh is a highly nutritious grain made from fire-roasted green wheat. The dry coarse grains come in a 16 ounce package and measure approximately 3 cups. The grains are harvested while still young, therefore freekeh contains more protein, vitamins, and minerals than the same mature grains and has up to four times the fiber of brown rice. It is an excellent alternative to pasta, rice, or potatoes. Used in the Classic Lebanese Cuisine recipe, Fire Roasted Wheat with Lamb or Beef (Freekeh ma Lahm).
