Freekeh Foods Review and Giveaway

Have you heard of Freekeh Foods? Yep, it is a crazy name.
Freekeh is an ancient Green Wheat. Freekeh is a process which means “to rub” in Arabic. Freekeh was created by accident nearly 2,000 years ago when a Middle Eastern village was attacked and their crop of young green wheat was set ablaze. Most folks would sulk over their misfortune, but the crafty villagers rubbed off the chaff, cooked it up and “Eureka!” Freekeh was created.
But what is it? This is toasted green wheat. Similar in texture and taste to bulgur wheat. If you are conscious of where your food comes from, you will be pleased to discover this is a USDA Organic product, and Non GMO certified. All of the flavors currently available do not contain any animal products or flavorings, so it is safe for vegans and plant-based eaters.
Cooking instructions are similar to rice, so I prepared a batch in my rice cooker. DisneyGroom and I really enjoyed it.
He preferred it to eat it hot - like rice, with some stir fry veggies and tofu. The tamari flavor was perfect for this.
I actually preferred it cold - add some diced parsley, cherry tomatoes, and a bit of lemon juice to make a tasty tabbouleh salad. Either the original or rosemary sage would work beautifully in a salad.
Much like quinoa, couscous, or wheat berries - you get a slight nutty flavor. I think this might be even more versatile than those three other foods though.
If you would like to try Freekeh, it is available at several major grocers. I have found it at my local Whole Foods, Earth Fare, and Fresh Market.
Try it out in some of your favorite dishes, and if you run out of ideas, there is a recipe library on the Freekeh Foods page.
