Triticum monococcum

Triticum monococcum, commonly known as einkorn wheat, is one of the earliest cultivated forms of wheat, dating back around 10,000 years. It has a simple, compact grain with a high nutritional profile, rich in protein and essential nutrients. As a type of emmer wheat, einkorn was among the first grains humans domesticated for food. Today, it’s valued for its ancient heritage, unique flavor, and potential health benefits, and is being grown on a small scale for health-conscious consumers and artisanal food markets. Its resilience and adaptability also make it an interesting crop for sustainable agriculture.
