Organic Einkorn grain, cultivated on our family farm in the heart of Tuscany, is testament to centuries-old agricultural traditions and our dedication to preserving biodiversity and soil health.
This 12,000 year old grain variety is a hardy, ancient grain that thrives in diverse environments, requiring minimal intervention from modern farming methods.
Einkorn contains more protein, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and minerals like iron and magnesium than modern wheat varieties. It is also a great source of antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress in the body.
Einkorn contains high amounts of essential omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which supports heart health and helps reduce inflammation in the body. Rich in antioxidants including lutein and carotenoids.
The grain has a lower glycemic index compared to modern wheat, meaning it has a slower impact on blood sugar levels.
Einkorn has a simpler, more easily digestible gluten structure compared to modern wheat. While it still contains gluten, some people with mild sensitivities may find it more tolerable. It’s important to note, however, that it’s not gluten-free and should not be consumed by those with coeliac disease.
Einkorn’s unique flavour profile is a subtly nutty, slightly sweet taste and a delicate, golden hue. It has a lovely chewy texture and is wonderful added to salads, soups or enjoyed as an alternative to rice.
It is a grain that nourishes both the body and the earth.
Simply boil for 30-40 minutes and add to salads, soups and stews, or use in place of rice.
