The ancient grain full of flavour and nutritional value
Nutty, nutritious and traditionally roasted
Freekeh is an ancient grain that is still traditionally grown in Palestine. The wheat is harvested young, when the grains are still green, and then lightly roasted over an open fire. The result is a nutritious grain with a characteristic nutty and slightly smoky flavour.
This artisanal preparation ensures that the nutrients are optimally preserved. Freekeh is rich in fiber, protein, iron and magnesium – making it a perfect choice for those who want to eat healthy and tasty.
Why choose Palestinian Freekeh?
✔ Authentic and traditional – roasted over an open fire for extra flavour
✔ Rich in fiber & protein – more nutritious than rice, bulgur or couscous
✔ 100% natural – free from additives or preservatives
✔ Versatile – in salads, soups, as a side dish or filling
✔ Fairly produced – supports small-scale agriculture & women's cooperatives in Palestine
Crushed or Whole Grain?
🔸 Crushed Freekeh – broken grain, cooks faster and has a softer texture
🔸 Whole Grain – whole grain with more bite, ideal in salads or as a rice substitute
Usage tips:
Rinse the freekeh and boil in water or stock (ratio 1:2.5). Simmer gently for 20–40 minutes, depending on desired bite. Delicious with olive oil and fresh herbs, or as a base for a nutritious meal salad.
