10 Grains That Are Really Good For You

5. Kamut

Kamut or “King Tut’s Wheat” is an extremely ancient grain—so ancient that it was rumored to have been found in tombs of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs! The kernels (which are twice as big as wheat kernels) were shipped back to the United States to be grown commercially for consumption. Kamut has 30% more protein than wheat and has a higher fatty acid content, meaning it is a high energy grain.
