About Frik

Frik, also commonly called freekeh, is grain made from harvested green wheat that is roasted and then processed, often by removing chaff and cracking the grain. The exact processing and degree of cracking can vary, but it is not simply an unspecified wheat flour.

It is used as a grain ingredient in cooked dishes and may be sold whole or cracked. Dry frik is typically firm, granular, and may have a toasted, savoury aroma; its cooked texture depends on the grain size and preparation.
