Perfect inspiration for trying this fantastic ingredient – from cookies and scones to pilafs, salads and breakfast bowls! Easy, healthy and delicious! ~
Freaking out over freekeh? (Ughhhh … sorry … just had to go there!)
Really, though – you’re definitely not alone!
Ever since we published our very first freekeh recipe for Kale Chopped Salad with Berries and Freekeh, and then our informational post all about what freekeh is and how to cook it … well, the comments and interest have been just fantastic!
Although freekeh is a pretty common ingredient for our readers in places like Australia, it’s still relatively new on the superfoods scene here in America, and we’ve had so many people tell us that they’re scouring their local stores, excited to give it a try!
As always … we’re here to help!
For all of you freekeh freaks, we’ve got just the thing: an awesome round-up of 10 amazing freekeh recipes, plus a giveaway of an entire case of Freekehlicious freekeh!
No kidding!
All the inspiration you need … plus plenty of freekeh to get you started! It’s a great day in freekeh land, no doubt!
Just like with all our other THK Top 10 lists, we spent hours searching for recipes that were the best of the best … the ones that screamed, “You’ve just gotta try ME!” yet were also full of healthier ingredients and weren’t too difficult or time-consuming.
These 10 are the ones we absolutely can’t wait to make next … and after just a quick peek, you’ll be right there with us!
So let’s dive into the recipes, and then we’ll tell you how you can win oodles of Freekehlicious freekeh to whip up all these gorgeous dishes!

Hi, Deb! So excited for you to try freekeh! It’s super tasty and, of course, super healthy! You’ll have to let us know what you think! 😀 ~Amy
I have had freekah one time and loved it. I plan to make it part of my diet especially after finding out how nutritious it is.
Oh, I’m so glad you’re working more freekeh into your repertoire, Sheila – and I hope all these freekeh recipe ideas really help you out! Besides all that awesome freekeh nutrition goin’ on, I think what I love best about it is the wonderful texture – so satisfying! Enjoy – and I’d love to hear what recipes you try and like the very best! 😀 ~Shelley
