Einkorn — Ancient Organic Grain

Einkorn is the oldest cultivated wheat on earth — a primitive grain never hybridized for yield, grown the same way for thousands of years. It has a rich, buttery, slightly sweet flavor unlike any modern wheat, and is higher in nutrients including lutein, protein, and B vitamins. Its gluten is weaker and more extensible, so it shines in pie crusts, pasta, pancakes, flatbreads, and delicate pastries. Use less liquid than your recipe calls for and expect a more tender, crumbly texture. The flavor payoff is extraordinary. Good for: pie crusts, pasta, pancakes, flatbreads, pastries. All grains are locally sourced, organic, and from non-sprayed fields at Ballenger Farm & Homestead.
