The great notoriety that khorasan has gained over time is mainly due to the increasing spread of food allergies; after long studies conducted in the USA it has been shown that about 70% of people who cannot tolerate traditional wheat due to allergic reactions can safely consume khorasan. However, the same indications do not apply to those with celiac disease; khorasan, like wheat, contains gluten and therefore cannot be consumed by people intolerant to gluten. In addition to its nutritional properties, its good digestibility and assimilability are highly appreciated. To underline the presence of selenium, which, thanks to its antioxidant properties, is able to protect the body from the effects of the much feared free radicals. To confirm the good nutritional properties, every 100 grams of khorosan, we have a caloric intake of 335 calories.
