yaffa PALESTINIAN FREEKEH 500G
ROASTED GREEN WHEAT
Naturally nutty. Gently smoky. Rooted in Palestinian cooking.
500g | Roasted green durum wheat | Product of Palestine
TRADITIONALLY ROASTED GREEN WHEAT
Freekeh is made from young, green durum wheat harvested before full ripeness. The grain is roasted or lightly smoked, then rubbed to remove its outer husks and can be cracked into different grain sizes. This traditional process creates its distinctive pale green-to-brown appearance, firm texture and gently smoky, nutty character, similar in versatility to bulgur wheat.
A VERSATILE STAPLE FOR EVERYDAY COOKING
Use freekeh in soups and stews, grain salads, pilafs and stuffed vegetables, or serve it as a satisfying alternative to rice, barley or pasta. Its savoury flavour pairs naturally with vegetables, herbs, spices, chicken or lamb. For a straightforward side dish, rinse and check the grain, then simmer in water or stock until tender. Cooking time and liquid requirements vary with grain size; follow the pack instructions where provided.
PALESTINIAN HERITAGE & NATURAL GOODNESS
Freekeh has long been enjoyed across Palestine and the wider Eastern Mediterranean. A traditional account tells of scorched wheat fields and the discovery that removing the burnt husks left delicious green kernels; the story is part of freekeh folklore rather than a verified origin. Roasted grain is also associated with biblical-era food traditions. Freekeh contains dietary fibre, plant protein and naturally occurring minerals including calcium, potassium, iron and zinc, and is often discussed in connection with lower-GI diets. Check the pack for exact nutritional values and allergen information.
