blessing - Halachic status of kamut



Khorasan wheat, often known by one popular brand name thereof, KAMUT®, is an ancient grain that is related to modern-day wheat, but has a number of differences. Does it have the halachic status of wheat, e.g., with regard to chametz and suitability for matzah, or whether its berachah is hamotzi / mezonos?



Answer



Per CRC-Chicago



Kamut is a variety of wheat which can become Chametz if mixed with water and left unattended for 18 minutes.
