Einkorn Flour grown by Dresbach Farm
Einkorn, whose name is derived from the German language meaning “single grain”, is one of the first plants to be domesticated by humans. It’s cultivation dates back 9,000 - 10,000 years ago. It is a low yielding plant, but can grow in soils where other wheat varieties cannot. It is higher in protein and considered to be a “superfood” due to being a rich source of beta carotenes, fiber, potassium, and vitamin E. Many people with gluten sensitivities report being able to eat Einkorn without issues and it is believed this is due to the ancient gluten having a different molecular structure.
