Its history is intriguing. Following WWII, a US airman claimed to have taken a handful of this grain from a stone box in a tomb near Dashare, Egypt. Thirty-six kernels of the grain were given to a friend who mailed them to his father, a Montana wheat farmer. The farmer planted and harvested a small crop and displayed the grain as a novelty at the local fair. Believing the legend that the giant grain kernels were taken from an Egyptian tomb, the grain was dubbed King Tut's Wheat. But soon the novelty wore off and this ancient grain was all but forgotten. In 1977, one remaining jar of King Tut's Wheat was obtained by T. Mack Quinn, another Montana wheat farmer, who with his son Bob, an agricultural scientist and plant biochemist soon perceived the value of this unique grain. They spent the next decade propagating the humped-backed kernels originally selected from the small jar. Their research revealed that wheats of this type originated in the fertile crescent area which runs from Egypt to the Tigris-Euphrates valley. The Quinns [trademarked] the name KAMUT, an ancient Egyptian word for wheat. Egyptologists claim the root meaning is "Soul of the Earth".1 The KAMUT trademark is a guarantee that the grain has never been hybridized or genetically modified, meets strict quality standards and is always organically grown.
