Einkorn wheat
Einkorn wheat is an ancient cultivated wheat with small, often hulled kernels, used whole or milled into flour for breads and other foods.
About Einkorn wheat
Einkorn wheat is an ancient cultivated wheat type, distinct from modern common wheat. Its grain is small and often enclosed in a tough hull that must be removed during processing. The edible kernels are generally golden, with a mild, wheaty flavour and a firm texture when cooked.
Einkorn is used as whole grain or milled into flour for foods such as porridge, breads, and other baked goods. Grain sold for cooking may be hulled or otherwise processed, while flour is a separate form. Nutrition comparisons should state whether they concern intact edible kernels, hulled grain, or flour, and whether the grain is dry or cooked.
