Kamut - Characteristics:

Kamut kernels are twice the size of wheat kernels and are characterized by a distinctive hump shape. Results of yield comparisons between Kamut and hard red spring wheats are similar to the results observed in the comparisons between "the covered wheats" and other free threshing wheats. Kamut will out yield spring wheats when environmental stresses are experienced during the growing season, and yield equal to or lower in more ideal growing seasons. Kamut plant height reaches 127 cm with good to excellent straw strength.

The dough properties of Kamut are good as evidenced by excellent bread volumes and texture. Kamut grains are generally higher in protein when compared to wheat when grown under similar environments.
