Organic Einkorn Berries - Ancient

This ancient grain is the earliest known wheat cultivar. Its name means "single grain", and it is the only unhybridized wheat, having 14 chromosomes compared to modern wheat's 42 chromosomes. Many people with gluten sensitivities can comfortably digest einkorn. It has a deep, toasty and nutty flavour and is rich in essential nutrients such as lutein, thiamin, zinc, iron, potassium, riboflavin, Vitamins B6 and A, protein and fibre. Einkorn flour can be used as a direct substitute for other whole wheat flours, and einkorn berries can be used in the place of rice or pot barley.

Organically grown grains are not treated with herbicides and therefore contain some foreign seeds (such as wild oats – which are also very good for you!). Our grains are cleaned by a third party certified organic seed cleaner, and while they do their best to remove any impurities, we cannot guarantee that the product is 100% pure. Our in-house testing indicates over 99.5% purity. If you see a wild oat, let it remind you that your product is herbicide free!

Einkorn requires the extra step of de-hulling, as the seed does not release itself from its hull. As such, you may also find a few hulls that did not come off of the berry during the de-hulling process.
