Kamut and Khorasan wheat refer to the same ancient grain, but the terms are used in slightly different contexts.
Kamut:
Brand Name: Kamut is actually a trademarked name for a specific variety of Khorasan wheat.
Khorasan Wheat:
General Term: Khorasan wheat is the general name for this ancient grain, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. The name "Khorasan" refers to a historical region that spans parts of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and surrounding areas.
Origin: Khorasan wheat is believed to have originated in the Fertile Crescent, particularly in the region historically known as Khorasan.
Characteristics: Like Kamut, Khorasan wheat has large, amber-colored kernels. It's prized for its rich flavor and high nutritional value.
In summary, Kamut is a specific brand of Khorasan wheat, marketed under a trademark, while Khorasan wheat refers to the ancient grain in general.
