Smoked Green Freekeh- 800GR
GREAT TASTE AWARD WINNER 2019
Discover Freekeh, the world’s most nutritious ancient grain. This smoky green wheat is a versatile gem in Mediterranean cuisine, renowned for its health benefits.
The story of Freekeh dates back 2000 years to the hills of Galilee. To protect their crops from an imminent attack, villagers harvested their wheat while it was still green and hid it in a barn. When the barn caught fire during the attack, the villagers discovered that the roasted green wheat had developed a delicious smoky flavor. Named Freekeh, from the Arabic word “to rub,” this accidental discovery continues to delight palates to this day.
Experience the rich, nutty taste of vegan Freekeh, fresh from Galilee. It’s a healthy alternative to rice and other grains, perfect for salads, stews, and pilafs. Taste the Mediterranean in every bite.
Cooking Instructions:
- Rinse 1 cup of Freekeh in cold water. Soak for 15 minutes (optional).
- In a medium saucepan, combine Freekeh and 2 cups of water or stock with a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat, covered, for 20-25 minutes or until all water is absorbed (stir occasionally while simmering).
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

As a professional chef, ingredient quality is everything to me. I came across Med Cuisine through a recommendation, and I have to say, their products have elevated my dishes significantly. The freekeh has an incredible smoky depth, the tahini is smooth and nutty, and their spice blends are perfectly balanced. What I appreciate most is the consistency in quality—something that’s hard to find with many suppliers. My customers constantly compliment the flavors, and I always tell them, 'It's all about using the best ingredients.' If you're serious about cooking, Med Cuisine is a must-try!

Knowing that I’m getting high-quality food without unnecessary chemicals makes me feel good about every purchase. I highly recommend it to anyone who values both taste and health!
