{"product_id":"kamut-khorasan-ecologique-germinations-herbe","title":"Kamut (Khorasan) — Sprouting \u0026 Wheatgrass Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn ancient Persian wheat whose name recalls the antique kingdom of Khorasan, which stretched across present-day Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia — a region where this wheat has been cultivated for at least 5,000 years. Its modern rediscovery owes itself to a romantic but disputed story: an American airman, Earl Dedman, is said to have brought back Khorasan grains found in an Egyptian tomb around 1949 (hence the English nickname \"\u003cem\u003eKing Tut's wheat\u003c\/em\u003e\"). It was, however, the Montana organic farmer Bob Quinn who ensured its commercial diffusion in the 1980s-90s and registered the name \u003cem\u003eKAMUT\u003c\/em\u003e, which is today a trademark guaranteeing organic certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cousin of hard wheat, Khorasan stands out for grains nearly twice as large, of a beautiful amber yellow, with higher selenium and protein content than modern wheat. Some people sensitive to modern wheat tolerate it better — it does, however, contain gluten, and so is absolutely not suited to coeliacs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs sprouts (3 to 5 days after soaking): small golden shoots with a white radicle, a noticeably milder, sweeter and nuttier flavour than hard wheat — to use in homemade sprout bread, as garnish on salads, in morning yogurt with honey, or as raw cereal with plant milk. As grass (\u003cem\u003ekamutgrass\u003c\/em\u003e), the direct equivalent of wheatgrass — to pass through a juicer for a milder, rounder drink than modern-wheat juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak: 8 to 12 hours in warm water before sowing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGermination time: 2 to 3 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprout harvest: 3 to 5 days after the start of soaking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrass harvest: 8 to 12 days after sowing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYield: about 1 cup of grains produces a 20 × 20 cm tray of grass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest use: sprout bread, grass through a juicer, mild alternative to modern wheat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joual Vert","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":42113343193260,"sku":"GC-O-KAMUT-100G","price":3.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":42113343226028,"sku":"GC-O-KAMUT-500G","price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":42113343258796,"sku":"GC-O-KAMUT-1KG","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/1388\/8684\/products\/kamutgrass_5450763e-a832-4cd7-bbb2-60d9531b5d8c.jpg?v=1698701380","url":"https:\/\/joualvert.ca\/en\/products\/kamut-khorasan-sprouting-wheatgrass-seeds","provider":"Joual Vert","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
