This Kamut® Gold flour is milled from khorasan wheat grown by Geoff at Bio-Oz in New South Wales. A 70% extraction roller milled flour, it sits between wholemeal and white flour, retaining more of the grain while producing a workable, versatile baking flour.

About the flour

Kamut® is the trademarked name for a specific variety of grown khorasan wheat. Khorasan is an ancient wheat known for its large grain size, natural sweetness and distinct yellow colour. 

This flour is roller milled to approximately 70% extraction, meaning a portion of the bran and germ has been removed while still retaining more of the grain than a standard white flour. The result is a flour that balances flavour and functionality, with a softer, more extensible dough compared with modern bread wheats. Khorasan flour is often noted for its good water absorption and workable dough structure, though it is typically handled more gently in mixing. 

For a broader understanding of khorasan wheat, its history, and how it differs from modern wheat, see our article on khorasan grain.
