Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) is the most ancient cereal grain known to mankind, with origins dating back thousands of years. In its wild form (Triticum boeoticum), it is considered one of the earliest cultivated grains and remains prized today for its exceptional nutrition, flavor, and digestibility.

🌾 Why You’ll Love This Ancient Grain

The original wheat:
Einkorn is a true ancient grain and the earliest form of wheat, with only 14 chromosomes (modern wheat has 42). Its name comes from the German word meaning “one kernel,” referring to the single grain per spikelet on the plant.

Unique gluten structure:
Einkorn contains gluten, but its gluten structure is fundamentally different from modern wheat. It is weaker and less elastic, which many people find easier to digest than conventional wheat. While not gluten-free, Einkorn is often tolerated by those sensitive to modern wheat.

Exceptional nutrition:
Einkorn ranks first among cereal grains for antioxidant content and is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins. Freshly milled Einkorn flour delivers deep nourishment along with outstanding flavor.

Rich, golden flavor:
Einkorn has a naturally buttery, slightly nutty taste and a warm golden color that elevates both baked goods and cooked grain dishes.

🌾 Fresh-Milled Advantage

Grinding Einkorn at home preserves its delicate oils, nutrients, and aroma—qualities that are quickly lost in commercially milled flours. Because Einkorn behaves differently than modern wheat, recipes often require less water and gentler handling.
