Is Freekeh Gluten-Free?

No, freekeh is not gluten-free.

Freekeh, also known as farik, is a cereal “ancient grain” made from green durum wheat. Since freekeh is derived from wheat grains, it therefore contains gluten and is not safe for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity to consume.
