Organic Einkorn

Organic Einkorn (Triticum monococcum)—known in its wild form as Triticum boeoticum—is considered the most ancient cereal grain in existence, dating back nearly one million years according to USDA research. It is the original wheat from which all modern wheat varieties descended.

The name Einkorn is German for “one kernel,” referring to the single grain found on each spikelet of the plant. Einkorn is a diploid wheat with only 14 chromosomes, making it genetically simpler than modern wheat varieties.

Highly prized by chefs and artisan bakers, Einkorn is celebrated for its rich flavor, golden color, and exceptional nutritional profile. It ranks first among cereal grains for antioxidant levels and tests high in essential vitamins and minerals.

Einkorn contains gluten, but its ancient structure differs from modern wheat, and many wheat-sensitive individuals report it is easier to digest. Its unique flavor and nutritional density make it an excellent choice for bread, pasta, pastries, and whole-grain cooking.
