About Khorasan wheat

Khorasan wheat is an ancient wheat type grown for its large, elongated kernels. The grains are typically golden and have a firm, chewy texture when cooked, with a mild, somewhat nutty wheat flavour. It is used as a whole grain in cooked dishes and can also be milled for food use.

It is sold as whole dried kernels and in processed forms such as flakes or flour, but those forms are not interchangeable in recipes. Grain size, milling, and cooking alter texture and preparation needs. This page concerns the wheat grain itself; flour made from it is a distinct ingredient form.
