Organic Einkorn Kernels

Einkorn is the earliest form of cultivated wheat, dating back about 10,000 years and also allegedly found in the tombs of ancient Egypt. Einkorn is not only small in size but with a chromosome count of 14 it is much lower in gluten structure than its modern grain counterparts at 42 chromosomes. Einkorn is a superb whole grain choice for its high levels of protein, essential fatty acids, phosphorous, potassium and lutein.

Some Additional Einkorn Attributes:

• Einkorn is about 50% higher in protein than modern wheat yet its gluten structure makes it tolerable by some people with wheat sensitivities.
• Einkorn has 3 – 4 times more riboflavin (vitamin B2 which stimulates the metabolism and assists in the digestion and absorption of fats, carbohydrates and proteins) than modern wheat
• 3 – 4 times more beta-carotene (an antioxidant that plays an essential role in cell division, reproduction, bone growth, vision, skin health and strengthening the immune system).
• 3-4 times more lutein, an antioxidant and necessary component of normal vision.
• Significantly higher levels of vitamin A than other wheats.
• Einkorn is also a great source of minerals including zinc, manganese, potassium, phosphorus and iron.

Einkorn flour is excellent for making breads, cookies and pastries. The flavour and texture is outstanding. Grown in Canada.
