NATURALLY HARVESTED
IN THE GALILEE HILLS
Fire Grain freekeh, the “new” ancient grain, has been our passion for over 40 years. We have been growing and harvesting it right here in the Galilee Hills, the very place it was discovered by our ancestors and still enjoyed today as a super-versatile dish in Mediterranean cuisine.
FROM SEED TO FORK
The secret to Fire Grain’s delicate smoky aroma lies in its unique creation. We harvest this special kind of durum wheat once a year in the Galilee Hills, capturing a rare 2-week “window” while the wheat is still young, soft and green.
Immediately following the harvest, the Fire Grain freekeh is roasted over an open fire, right within the field, in a unique state of the art facility (add safety and standards info) that simulates the traditional roasting method used 2000 years ago, while ensuring a grain that retains its deep green color and its high nutritional value. The roasting burns off the straw and chaff which are then rubbed off (the rubbing process gives freekeh its name, farik or “rubbed”) to reveal a firm grain with a distinct nutty, smoky flavor that goes on to do wonders in the kitchen.
