Kavut

To make kavut, cracked wheat is first toasted in a dry pan until it is golden brown. It is then cooked in water or milk until it is tender. The finished dish is typically sweetened with sugar or honey and flavored with cinnamon and nuts. Kavut is a great source of fiber and protein, making it a healthy breakfast option.
