Dating back to approximately 2300 B.C., freekeh is an ancient grain made from roasted green durum wheat that offers a unique culinary profile and numerous health benefits. This staple of Middle Eastern cuisine has gained global recognition for its smoky flavor, chewy texture, and nutritional density, standing out from other commonly consumed grains.

Despite the healthy-sounding “green” in its name, freekeh, a popular Middle Eastern grain made from young wheat, is not gluten-free. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, consuming this ancient grain, which is harvested while still immature, is unsafe.
