Page 2 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Kamut Enterprises of Europe bvba (KEE) is one of 16 Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) involved in developing food products and pursuing health claims, along with 12 leading research organizations with expertise in health claims legislation, and food and health research. The project is headed by BACCHUS (Beneficial effects of dietary bioactive peptides and polyphenols on cardiovascular health in humans), a collaborative project supported by EU grant funds with the research theme of “food, agriculture and fisheries and biotechnology.” The purpose of BACCHUS is developing solu- tions such as improved dietary habits, including the increased consumption of foods containing bioactive substances purported to be beneficial for the cardiovascular health. BACHUS supports European SMEs creating new food products, which boost cardiovascular health, using scientific evidence and tools essential for making health claims. The overarching goal of the work is to re- duce deaths due cardiovascular disease in the EU. Cardiovascular disease accounts for 47% in deaths in the EU and consumes a tremendous amount of health care resources. SPOTLIGHT ON KAMUT® BRAND KHORASAN USER: THE BREAD BECKERS Located in Woodstock, GA, the Bread Beckers started out selling simple bread-making equipment. Today, they are much more than just a kitchen store; they are a real food store, where customer education, service and sat- isfaction are the ultimate goal. Their story began in 1992 when Sue Becker started reading about widespread health problems in relation to our “modern” diet. The medical journal she was reading suggested that white flour and the bread on the shelves in most supermarkets today have little in common with the healthy whole grain breads of our ancestors. After her research, Sue was convinced enough to buy a grain mill and start making all of her family’s bread. Her fam- ily immediately saw marked improvement in their health and Sue and her husband, Brad, starting sharing the joy and art of bread-making with friends and family. From there it just grew….and GREW. Today, the Bread Beckers offer classes in their studio, online instructional videos and a storefront where you are free to browse and ask questions. In addition to selling KAMUT® Brand khorasan wheat in a vari- ety of package sizes for the home baker, they use it in their bread and pasta making classes. They have created recipes that use the flour in a variety of baked good and the wheat berries for hot and cold salads. They like the rich, buttery taste of KAMUT® wheat and its healthy nutritional profile. The Bread Beckers, Inc. currently employs 16 passionate people, occupies two buildings, and has become a part of the economic, spiritual and cultural fabric of Cherokee County, GA. Visit www.breadbeckers.com to learn more about their company, check out their recipes and watch instructional baking videos. Kamut In- ternational thanks the Bread Beckers for all the great work they do! January 2013 Page 3 Whole Grains—Continued they do not mean that the product is “Whole Grain.” The Whole Grains Council website is a great resource for learning more about whole grains and features a database of products carrying the stamp. Also beware that just because a food product is whole grain, it does not mean it is the healthiest food concontinued— choice for you. The Harvard School of Public Health recently released a report noting that “whole grain” labeling can be confusing and inconsistent and that “whole grain” - labeled foods can also include more sugars and calories than is healthy. It is always important to read labels and select products that fit best with your diet and lifestyle. KAMUT® Brand khorasan wheat and products are an excellent way to incorporate whole grains into your diet; look for the whole kernels (berries), whole grain flour, and many finished products that include all parts of the grain. Note that not all products that use KAMUT® Brand wheat are “whole grain.” Eden Foods uses whole grain KAMUT® Brand wheat in a line of pastas that includes ditalini, spirals, rigatoni, and spaghetti. MagNoodles pastas include the whole KAMUT® Brand wheat grain. New England Natural Bakers makes a whole grain “Ancient Grains Granola.” Nature’s Path has several whole grain cereals including Heritage® Flakes and Kirkland Signature by Nature’s Path Organic Ancient Grains Granola with Almonds and their new Heritage® Muesli - Raspberry Hazelnut & Ancient Grains. Arrowhead Mill’s Puffed KAMUT® Wheat Cereal and Organic KAMUT® Flakes are whole grain. Look for Arrowhead Mill’s new packaging! Prairie Harvest All of Prairie Harvest’s Artesian Acres KAMUT® Brand khorasan wheat pastas are whole grain. These tasty pas- tas are only available in Canada. KI recommends two favorite cookbooks whose authors are fans of whole grains and can help you incorporate KAMUT® Brand khorasan wheat into your home cooked meals. Maria Speck’s Ancient Grains for Modern Meals: Medi- terranean Whole Grain Recipes for Barley, Farro, Kamut, Polenta, Wheat Berries & More (Ten Speed Press, 2011) is award winning and has received excellent reviews. This attractive book incorporates whole grains in an array of foods. Grain Mains: 101 surprising and Satisfying Whole Grain Recipes for Every Meal of the Day (Rodale 2012) by Mark Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough shows you how to rethink your pantry and meal planning to include whole grains in all your meals, not as a side, but rather as the “main” highlight of the meal. Know that you are getting all the best of KAMUT® Brand khorasan wheat when you get the “Whole Grain!” About the Whole Grains Council Stamp – In the US products must contain at least 8g of whole grain per labeled serving to use the basic Whole Grain Stamp. Products containing at least 16g of whole grain, and where ALL the grains are whole grains, may use the 100% Whole Grain Stamp. In Canada, the 100% Stamp is limited to products where all the ingredients are whole grains – so only a sack of brown rice, a bag of whole grain flour or other similar prod- ucts would qualify for the 100% Stamp.)

  • Khorasan (Kamut® Brand) Wheat
    Khorasan (Kamut® Brand) Wheat Introduction Khorasan wheat (Triticum turgidum, ssp. turanicum) is an ancient wheat variety that originated in the Fertile Crescent in Western Asia. It is a relative of durum wheat and is believed to have come to North America from Egypt, following World War II. It was rediscovered in 1977 by a Montana farmer who spent the next few years propagating the small supply of original seed. In 1990, khorasan wheat was first sold under the trademark KAMUT® in the United States. The trademark was implemented to preserve minimum standards for the khorasan wheat variety and to ensure consistent quality and market supply. KAMUT® wheat is currently only grown as KAMUT® wheat has larger heads, awns and kernels than an organic certified grain and hard red spring wheat and durum. marketed to various countries Photo courtesy T. Blyth, Kamut International around the world. Plant Adaptation KAMUT® wheat production is well suited to growing conditions found in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan, similar to durum. Northern regions with cooler, wetter conditions are less favorable for KAMUT® wheat production as disease risk may be greater and the crop requires about 100 days to mature after seeding or approximately one week later than spring wheat. KAMUT® wheat will grow well in any soil that is suitable for other cereal grain production. KAMUT® wheat has a growth pattern similar to spring wheat varieties. Each sprouted kernel produces one or two stems per seed, and each stem produces a large head with long black awns. It has moderate straw strength and grows to approximately 127 cm (4.2 ft) tall.

  • Whole Grain Goodness
    Nutrition Know-How Child Health Specialty Clinics Whole Grain Goodness What is a whole grain? A whole grain food has all three parts of the grain, and each part has different vitamins and minerals that work together to provide nutrition. Many people only think of wheat and other bread products when they hear the word “grain,” but there are many foods that contain whole grains. Why do whole grains matter? Whole grains are higher in fiber, iron and vitamins than processed grains like white flour. Fiber can help your child pass bowel movements, and iron and vitamins are very important for a child’s growth and development. People who eat more whole grains are less likely to struggle with their weight and other serious health conditions like colon cancer. How much whole grain does my child need? This depends on your child’s age and size. A good guide is to make at least half of your child’s grain servings whole grain. For example, if your child eats 6 servings of grain, at least 3 of those servings should be whole grain. How do I know if a food is whole grain? Look for the words “whole grain” on the package. Foods with at least 51% whole grain will have a special label on them like the one shown at the top of this page. You can also check the ingredients; to be a whole grain product a food should have a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. A whole grain bread will have “whole wheat flour” as the first ingredient.

  • Wheat, Barley, Rye, GO! Students Get Active and Learn About Whole Grains in This Spirited Game Overview
    Wheat, Barley, Rye, GO! Students get active and learn about whole grains in this spirited game Overview In this wacky version of "Rock, Paper, Scissors," students strategize and chase Description each other while learning about whole grains. Objective Students will identify a variety of whole grain foods they can eat for snack. Activity 1. Have the studends form a large circle. 2. Ask them to raise their hands if they eat whole grain foods for snack (e.g. crackers, bread, etc). Explain that grains are carbohydrates, the body’s main source of energy. Tell the class that whole grains are usually brown and are healthier than white grains because they have more vitamins and nutrients, which give the body more energy to run and play. 3. Then, ask them to share a few specific whole grain foods they eat. (If a student mentions a processed, "white" grain such as white bread, tell them it is okay to eat foods like white bread once in a while, but they should eat whole grains more often. Can they think of a whole grain food to replace the other?) 4. Divide the class into two groups and have them stand at opposite ends of the room. 5. Explain that they are going to play a familiar game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" with a twist. The name of the game is "Wheat, Barley, Rye." 6. Have the class create one full-body pose (as opposed to hand sign) for each grain. Have the students practice the movements as you call out the grains so they become familiar.

    PR Contact: Jillian Chertok, ADinfinitum, New York, NY. Email: [email protected] Tel: 212.693.2150 Ext: 311 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Consumer Demand for Simple, Healthy and Nutritious Foods Leads to Rise of Ancient Grains Sales of ancient grains such as KAMUT® Brand khorasan wheat, quinoa, amaranth, teff, spelt and freekah have increased dramatically in recent years as more consumers, nutritionists and big brands recognize their benefits Big Sandy, MT, September 2015 – Consumers and nutrition experts have spoken – driven by their desire for non-GMO foods with simple ingredients that are high in nutrients, ancient grains are on the rise with no sign of slowing down.
