About Einkorn wheat grain

Einkorn wheat grain refers to the kernels of einkorn, an ancient cultivated wheat type. The kernels are small and golden, with a mild, wheaty flavour and a firm texture after cooking. Einkorn kernels may be sold with a tough outer hull or after processing to remove it; grain sold for eating is generally prepared by removing inedible coverings.

The kernels can be cooked whole for use in grain dishes or ground into flour, though flour is a distinct ingredient form. They may also be sold dry or cooked. Nutrition comparisons should specify whether the sample is hulled and edible, whether it is dry or cooked, and whether it is whole grain rather than milled flour.
