Some people believe that eating ancient grains from the past is much healthier. There are grains that have been around for millennia that you can conveniently buy online at your local health store. One of them is a wheat rumored to be eaten by Noah. 

Huge Yellow Wheat Looks Like Something from Another Century 

Kamut wheat is the registered name for a kind of Khorasan wheat that comes from an Iranian province by the same name. It has a long history, and some think it is the wheat mentioned in the bible.

In 1949 a man named Earl Dedman bought some in Egypt from a man who claimed it came from an Egyptian tomb. Nobody believes that is the truth, but it does go back to bible times and many claim it is healthier than modern wheat.

Utah Influencer Bakes Food Using Ancient Wheat 

A guy named Bob Quinn came across some of the wheat grown by Dedman and he and his dad started growing it in Montana. They registered the name Kamut and turned it into a business.

Meanwhile, Lizi Heaps from the Food Nanny says her mother found the wheat in Italy. She loved it  and wanted to bring it the U.S. and soon discovered it was already here. She says it has a different taste and texture, and it has never been modified.

Heaps makes breads and pastries from Kamut on her channel. Whether Noah ate it on the ark is up in the air, but if he did, it's a pretty good endorsement. He lived a long time, and he survived when everyone else went under.
