Product details All natural. Great source of fiber. Freekeh is a natural agricultural product. Despite the use of modern cleaning equipment, it is not always possible to remove all foreign material. Please sort and rinse freekeh before cooking. Freekeh (pronounced free-ka) has been a family favorite throughout the world for centuries. Made by fire-roasting baby green wheat, freekeh retains a higher content of dietary fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals than traditional wheat. Fire roasting also gives freekeh an earthy, nutty and delicious flavor that enhances any entree.
