EINKORN
Origin: |
Like Emmer, Einkorn is one of the original wheat varieties and has its origin in the Middle East. The ancient Romans already knew Einkorn and called it Triticum Monococcum.
Nowadays it is also known as small spelt.

| Appearance: |
The unusually yellow grain remains in its hard husk even during threshing.

| Uses: |
When the Einkorn grain has been husked, it can be used as flakes, in cakes and other desserts or be added to whole-flour breads. It is possible to bake tin loafs of it, although Einkorn flour as the main ingredient is difficult to handle.

| Contents: |
Einkorn contains more proteins than wheat - as much as about 15 percent more, according our own results from tests of Upper Austrian Einkorn grains (Some published examinations suggest the difference is even higher). The protein, however, is soft and not very elastic.
Additionally, a high amount of carotinides is found in Einkorn, which accounts for the yellow colour of the grain. |
