Tarian Pantry Kitchen Diary

Our focus is on growing, purchasing and cooking with good plant based foods. Food and cooking doesn't need to be complex. It's about enjoying the simplicity that nature has to offer and reminding you not to loose sight of where food comes from.

New Discovery - Kamut


There is always something to learn about food, a new product, a new brand and most importantly, a new (or old) food that gets brought to your attention. Today I discovered Kamut pasta.

Kamut is an ancient grain, and a close relative to durum wheat. Kamut is considered nutritionally superior to many other forms of wheat with protein content 40% higher than traditional wheat. Kamut is high in vitamins and carbohydrates therefore produces greater energy than traditional wheat - ideal for that carb load needed when training for a marathon like myself!

Kamut has a sweet nutty flavour. Kamut pasta takes around 7 minutes to cook and makes the perfect meal when served with Tarian’s basic tomato sauce recipe with added swiss brown mushrooms, spinach, red peppers and onions.
