Freekah

My pal Brittin Eustis "The Wheat Pimp" sent me this about freekah

:

A bit of history on freekeh: It is a process for harvesting and preserving green wheat that is cut when the kernel is still green and soft in the head. It is fire roasted to dry it and preserve it as a precooked product. Freekeh has been around for a few thousand years. The freekeh that I have tried from Turkey has very smoky flavor – so much so that you have to cut it with bulgur. The freekeh that we are importing from Australia has a less smoky, milder flavor that is very unique.

Here are some sites for more info on freekeh.
