Kamut is another old form of wheat, which as good levels of protein. The flavor is similar to wheat berries. I think most of those wheat-related grains taste the same.

Thanks for the info! I’ve never heard of kamut before I will have to look into it. As for the carbs and calories, I may try eat it served over chopped romaine too.

I had to use kamut rather than wheat berries, and I did cut the olive oil in half. The results I came up with were: Total calories 560;Fat calories 195; Total carbs 73g ; Dietary fiber 14g; Protein 23g. It’s significantly higher in calories and carbs than I usually eat, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it as an occasional treat. And I’m certain you will continue to hold my interest with your posts. :-)

I am not an expert in nutrition so you’ll have to let me know what you think! The addition of some shredded chicken sounds good though.

And you made me smile this morning by saying you read all my posts! I am very glad to have been able to keep you interested all this time and hope to keep up my end even with fewer posts.

I’ve gotten into wheat berries, kamut, farro, & freekeh this year, so finding recipes like this one is great. I have a tendency to add meat into recipes like this, but I’ll check the nutrition and see if this one needs it (I’m thinking it won’t).

As for the days you post and the frequency of your posts, do what works for you. I read all your posts, but am fine with fewer. The days of the week when you post don’t matter to me because I’m retired and all the days are the same… :-)

I’ve only used wheatberries once but I really liked them, so I need to try again. I love all the fresh flavors in here!
