Nutritional Benefits:
An excellent food for energy, growth and strength
Great snack for growing children
A pinch of ginger powder will help to make it more suitable for Kapha and for the winter months
Kamut flour is lighter than both spelt and wheat, making it a better choice for Kapha.  Vata and Pitta can handle all 3 flours.  Wheat is heavy and can produce lethargy in the mind and puffiness in the face and belly.  Choose less often
