Kamut® is a fantastic ancient grain and has a following all its own! If you are nervous about switching from white bread to whole grains, Kamut® is the perfect place to start. Kamut® berries have a mild, buttery flavor which serves as a “blank slate” to showcase the other flavors of your dish. Kamut mills into a lower protein bread flour that works well for pizza crust, pasta, and mini bread loaves.
Kamut® has many natural enzymes and key nutrients that are only accessible through home milling. Purchasing pre-milled Kamut® flour lowers the nutritional potential; it is estimated that up to 90% of key nutrients have oxidized within 3 days of milling which is why we recommend purchasing Kamut® grains instead of Kamut® flour.
Note: We don't personally use Kamut® for much of our baking as it doesn't have quite a diverse enough baking profile for our needs, and there is less nutrient diversity as Kamut® is a single grain instead of a blend. Kamut is not a one-to-one substitute for our Basic Blend. It is however a delicious grain to keep on hand, and we highly recommend it for rolls, mini-loaves, pretzels, pasta and pizza crust especially!

Unsifted® bulk bags make it easy to incorporate healthy whole grains into your every day baking. Bulk purchases are 30 lb. of our premium grain, packaged and sealed in a Mylar bag or bucket with an identifying label on the outside.
If you order the bucket + gamma lid option:
Your grain will arrive in a 5 gallon food-safe bucket with a white Gamma Lid. We recommend selecting the Bucket option for your first bulk order, and then refilling with the Mylar option in future orders (the buckets and lids are reusable).
If you order the mylar option:
Once you receive your order, we recommend pouring these bulk grains into a food-grade 5 gallon bucket and sealing it with a gamma seal airtight lid. It's important to keep the grain airtight and dry so that it will last a very long time (away from moisture and bugs).
Gamma seal lids add a massive convenience factor and we can't recommend them more highly! We personally keep our bulk refill buckets in the basement or out of sight and use them to refill our kitchen containers as needed.
This product is for you if you've tried Unsifted, if you want to have a steady supply of freshly milled flour, and if you want to buy at a per/pound discount. We highly recommend that you not treat whole grains like fine china; whole grains give the most benefit when consumed daily, and are most beneficial to you and your loved ones if you consume them regularly.
In addition to all the benefits listed on the Learn page, studies show that eating at least three servings of whole grains a day reduces the following health issues by the percent shown:
- Reduces all causes of mortality by 19%
- Reduces Coronary Heart Disease incidence by 20%
- Reduces stroke incidence by 14%
- Reduces Type 2 diabetes by 33%
- Reduces colorectal cancer by 13%
- Reduces cancer mortality by 16%
