The Creative Kitchen loves the diverse ways families can enjoy incorporating Freekeh, the healthful ancient grain, into their meals. Freekehlicious is a company known for producing the ancient grain in the highest of standards. Freekehlicious’ Cracked Freekeh is similar in texture to bulgar wheat. Families can take comfort because it’s high in calcium for bone health and rich in prebiotic properties which are important for the growth of healthy bacteria, which promotes a healthy gut. Plus, Freekehlicious’ Cracked Freekeh is vegan, kosher, and non-GMO! Use Cracked Freekah to a nutty crunchy texture that’s excellent in burgers, stuffing, soups, making parfaits layering cooked Freekeh, yogurt, pears, apples, cranberries, cinnamon and pumpkin seeds for a seasonal dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or even a snack!

The Creative Kitchen is proud to have Freekehlicious as a Supporting Sponsor for our Whole Foods Holiday Kids Cooking Series.
