Kamut® Grain compared to common wheat - it is higher in eight of the nine minerals (such as magnesium and zinc), contains more of the antioxidant selenium and is 30% higher in similarly important Vitamin E. It contains up to 65% more amino acids and boasts more lipids and fatty acids. What is even more striking is its up to 40% higher protein level than the national average for wheat. The higher percentage of lipids in Kamut® produce more energy in the body than carbohydrates. It can be called a “high energy food”. The golden kernels are larger and harder than wheat. It requires a dry climate with 110 days to mature. Atleast 2 controlled studies have shown that 70% of those with negative responses to wheat can enjoy Kamut®. There are other reports showing the health benefits. January 18, 2001 “The Glycemic Research Institute in Washington, D.C. announced today that 5 products from the Kamut® Association have been approved as LOW GLYCEMIC. The coveted seal of Approval from the Institute designates that a food does not overly stimulate insulin and does not stimulate the main fat-storing enzyme, Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL).” Diabetics, hypoglycemics, dieters, and athletes try to avoid high glycemic foods since they stimulate insulin and fat-storage. Low glycemic food will not cause an imbalanced blood sugar level. It is believed that Kamut® Grain and spelt both pass the test on this. Enjoy! To your good health!! In baking, try substituting Kamut® flour cup for cup in baking. For more information check www.kamut.com |
