Einkorn Wheat (Triticum monococcum)

Einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum) is one of the earliest cultivated wheat varieties, dating back over 10,000 years. It has a simple genetic structure with just two sets of chromosomes, making it less processed than modern wheat. Rich in nutrients like protein, vitamins, and antioxidants, einkorn has a nutty flavor and a dense texture. It is often prized by health-conscious consumers and those seeking ancient grains. Because it’s less hybridized, einkorn may be easier to digest for some people, and it offers a flavorful alternative to modern wheat in baking and cooking.
