Khorasan Wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. turanicum), is an ancient grain with a fascinating history. Here are some key points about this remarkable grain:
-
Origins and Unchanged Heritage: Khorasan wheat hails from the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East. It’s an ancient relative of modern wheat, and its berries are twice the size of typical wheat berries. Remarkably, Khorasan wheat has remained largely unchanged by breeding over the last several hundred years.
-
Distinctive Flavor and Nutritional Attributes: Khorasan wheat boasts a sweet, nutty, and buttery flavor that appeals to pasta makers, bakers, and consumers alike. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts value it for its impressive nutritional profile:
- Higher in zinc, magnesium, selenium, niacin, and thiamin compared to hard wheat.
- Up to 65% more amino acids and about 30% more protein than hard wheat.
- A good source of dietary fiber and iron.
-
Health Research: Preliminary studies suggest that Khorasan wheat may contribute to lowering cholesterol and reducing markers of inflammation compared to modern wheat.* While more research is needed, interest in Khorasan wheat’s potential health benefits continues to grow.
