*SHAKEOLOGY SPOTLIGHT* --Kamut Grass

**Kamut Grass**

Kamut is a type of grain that is known for its sweet and nutty flavor. This grain has been around for centuries and used to be called “King Tuts Wheat”.  Although Kamut is closely related to wheat, it is far superior. Kamut is FULL of protein, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, lipids and complex carbohydrates making the nutritional value very high compared to other grains. Another major plus to this grain is that it is cholesterol FREE!!



One of the main health benefits of Kamut is that it is an excellent source of four minerals that greatly improve body function. Selenium and Manganese both function as antioxidants that protect against genetic mutations and cell membrane damage caused by free radicals. They also contribute to balancing your body’s hormones.  The last two minerals found in considerable amounts are Magnesium and Zinc. Meganesium strengths bone tissue and activates certain enzymes that your cells need to function. Zinc promotes healthy thyroid function as well as boosts your immune system. 

Perhaps one of the best parts of Kamut Grass is that studies have shown it to be less allergenic than wheat. Generally people who suffer from a wheat allergy do just fine with Kamut making it a healthier and safer grain! Isn’t that AWESOME!!


Kamut grass has so many health benefits that it’s no wonder it is a part of Shakeology’s line up!!
