Green wheats are reaped in the late milk-ripening stage of the wheat-growing period, approximately 25-30 d post anthesis (dpa) (YIN et al., 2012). It is becoming a universal food, with one million tons of green wheat kernel products produced annually in the Middle East and it is commonly known as frekeh, frikeh, or freekah in Middle Eastern and European countries, and has been processed traditionally, such as by drying or baking. Fresh green wheat, which is chewy and slightly sweet, has been eaten directly as a satiating food in China in the past century. With increasing research into the characteristics of green wheat, its nutritional benefits are becoming increasingly well known. Immature wheat has been reported to contain a high content of fructo-oligosaccharides providing important biological functions, which were unavailable in mature wheat (Bayram, 2008). Additionally, the mineral composition of frekeh showed high amounts of calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and that its nutritional value was superior to that of wheat (Bird & Mular, 2003). Green wheat kernel contains more dietary fiber than wheat, which contributes to a reduction of glycemic index (GI). GI reflects the effect of foods on postprandial blood glucose response compared with a reference food. With increasing health awareness, low-GI food has become increasingly popular because it can reduce the incidence of chronic diseases (Mogoş et al., 2017). Furthermore, green wheat is rich in chlorophyll, which contains trace iron and is considered as a natural hematopoietic material, with chlorophyll and its derivatives having an antianemia effect. Although delicious, fresh green wheat kernel has a high moisture content (40%-45%) (Song et al., 2013), and is vulnerable to the environment, leading to a short shelf life. Therefore, green wheat kernel must be processed or frozen immediately for further use after
