Cracked Freekah
$SG8.50 – $SG16.00
Cracked Freekah is durum wheat harvested while it’s still green, which retains high level of nutrition. The kernels are then roasted, giving it a smoky nutty flavour. This Mediterranean whole grain is a nutritious alternative for rice in East Asian dishes we are used to! It is great for healthy bones, strong immunity and a healthy heart.

Cooking Freekah
Add one cup of Freekah to 2.5 cups of water and bring to the boil over the stove. Simmer uncovered gently till water is absorbed (approx 15-20mins). Turn off the heat, place the lid on and allow the grains to steam for 5 minutes for a more fluffy texture.
1 cup of dry grains makes approximately 3 cups cooked grains.
For a quick, simple, nutrient-packed meal, toss the cooked Freekah in extra—virgin olive oil, add a dash of salt and some lemon juice. Add some nuts or crack a soft-boiled egg or throw in a can of tuna for additional protein to the already protein-filled grain. If you have a little more time, pan fry a lamb chop with salt and pepper for a dish with more Mediterranean flavour!
When I get extremely lazy, I simply pour hot water over cooked Freekah I stored overnight in the fridge, and add soba sauce for an unorthodox Japanese meal 
Makes for a healthy late night supper when you can’t sleep on empty stomach.
Load on those nutrients!
