What is khorasan wheat?!

Khorasan wheat is an ancient, nutrient-dense variety of wheat with larger, golden kernels and a rich, nutty flavor. It is higher in protein, fiber, and certain vitamins and minerals (like magnesium and zinc) than conventional wheat varieties and was grown in ancient civilizations, including Egypt.

Fun fact-King Tut’s tomb contained  Khorasan wheat seeds, possibly meant for his journey into the afterlife. 

If you are in need of a gluten free option, puffed brown rice would also work great in this recipe!

Why we love honey!

Every fall we get gallons and gallons of honey from our local family owned bee farm. Local honey may offer some relief from seasonal allergies because of the trace amounts of local pollen and its natural anti-inflammatory properties. Honey is a more natural and less processed sweetener compared to refined sugars, offering trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It has a lower glycemic index, meaning it causes slower blood sugar spikes, which is better for sustained energy and preventing crashes. Honey also contains natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for immune health. Certain types of raw honey contain prebiotics that support digestive health.
