The Ultimate Freekeh Breakfast

Both cracked and whole freekeh make for an excellent breakfast cereal. Cooked freekeh will keep in your refrigerator for up to 5 days, so it’s readily available each morning! It can be eaten warm – like oatmeal or cold with yogurt. Be creative with what you add – fruits, cinnamon, raisins, honey and nuts!
