kamut: pharaoh's grain.

yep, you read correctly. and yesterday jude tasted the food of ancient kings. lol, ok not so much. but kamut is rumored to have been a grain of those ancient egyptians. either way, it's tremendously tasty as well protein-packed. it's higher fatty acid content makes it a wonderful high-energy food and it is full of b vitamins, vitamin e, zinc, etc. it's considered an extra-special wonder grain since it has never been genetically modified (as wheat and such have). plus i'm sure you all know by now that i am a sucker for introducing exotic foods to my bouncing baby boy. it's all about variety.







and even though jude's new favorite mealtime activity is feeding himself cheerios (well, organic morning o's) he stopped to taste the kamut. and he seemed to like it. he ate it all up, anyway. :)

after the morning rain shower and our afternoon nap, we spent the rest of today outside (intermittently, so as not to get sunburned of course) and it was gorgeous!
