Einkorn Flour 500g

Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) is one of the earliest forms of cultivated wheat, dating back over 10,000 years. Unlike modern wheat, which has been bred extensively for yield and gluten strength, Einkorn remains genetically unchanged. It has only 14 chromosomes, compared to the 42 chromosomes found in modern wheat. This makes it one of the simplest and most ancient wheat species still in use today.

Grown in Bulgaria, Love My Earth Einkorn flour is milled from the tiny grains of this heritage wheat. 

Nutritional Profile

Einkorn is prized for its superior nutritional value. It contains:

• Higher levels of carotenoids, which give the flour a subtle yellow tint.
  
  

• Lower levels of gluten, which some people with wheat sensitivities find easier to digest (though it is not gluten-free).
  
  

Its unique nutritional makeup has made Einkorn flour a popular choice among those looking to bake healthier breads without sacrificing taste.
