Ziyad Freekeh Fire Roasted Baby Wheat - Vegan Ancient Grain, 16 oz

Flavorful and crunchy addition to my food.

it's tasty. love the smokey flavor but definitely a pricier grain

I love freekeh, and it has grown harder to find (and now that bulk foods are off limits, impossible). The Ziyad is fine, flavorful. It does need rinsing, and more than once (and bulk freekeh needs that too). Most dried foods do. This was more money than it should have been (about twice as much), but during this Pandemic, it's not absurdly overpriced. I haven't found a satisfying substitute (Bulgar almost works....but lacks that smoky bit) so I'll be back.

Great and versatile whole grain that can be served like rice. I cooked mine in broth and seasonings, added veggies to the top, and drizzled a tahini sauce with falafel.

I just learned about Freekeh. I’m really enjoying it in soups and as a side dish.

Excellent product

I discovered this product at a local health food store near my home but it was expensive. This one from Amazon is more for the money. Very delicious and healthy and low carb if you're into low carb like I am. It does not take as long to cook as stated on the package though. It says 1 cup of Freekeh to 5 cups of water. That is ridiculous and the water takes forever to evaporate. One cup of Freekeh to about 2-1/2 cups of liquid, (water, broth, etc) is good enough. Frying it in a frying pan with sesame oil or marg first is also helpful to the flavor and sesame oil adds a little nuttiness. Adding chopped onions and your favorite herb or spice makes it even more delicious. Bon appetit.

I made this and the flavor seemed good, although there was a lot of sand in with the grains. It was impossible to get it out before cooking. I threw out the rest of the box. Would not buy again.
