khorasan


 
A gentle union of cream, honey, and caramel that is reminiscent of the hardy Middle Eastern grain!

Khorasan wheat is distinctive. It is about three times larger than most modern wheats, is elongated, and is uniquely vitreous with a rich golden color. Most likely originating in Mesopotamia, legends exist of this grain being found in Egyptian tombs. Farmers in Turkey call the grain “Camel’s Tooth” because of its shape or the “Prophet’s Wheat,” referring to another legend that Noah brought the grain with him on the ark. It has a rich, buttery flavour and excellent texture, crust and crumb. It has a sweet taste with no hint of bitterness, and is packed full of energy and protein!

2-ply hand-made dupioni is 1.5x the weight and twice the thickness of our standard dupioni! That means it's not only eye-popping, it's extra-strong and durable as well!
