Meet Cracked Freekeh — the green wheat with a flavour so deep and satisfying it feels like it’s been carried through centuries. Made from young durum wheat harvested early, then flame-roasted and cracked into tender shards, freekeh delivers a toasty, savoury richness with a firm, satisfying bite.

High in fibre, protein, and minerals, cracked freekeh is a powerhouse grain perfect for pilafs, salads, soups, warm bowls, and hearty sides. Its smokey aroma and wholesome chew bring warmth and character to dishes that crave body and depth.

Hand-packed in Wollongong, this Full-Bodied Pantry favourite isn’t just a grain — it’s comfort, nourishment, and old-world flavour wrapped into one golden bowl.

💡 Fun Fact

Freekeh is over 2,000 years old — legend says it was discovered when a wheat crop accidentally caught fire. Instead of discarding it, villagers cracked the roasted grains… and fell in love.
