Grand Teton Ancient Grains - 100% Organic Einkorn Berries, Premium Food-Grade Farro Piccolo, For Milling into Flour, Baking, Pilafs, & Soups, 5 lbs

My feelings about Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) are quite mixed. While it takes a long time to cook compared to the quicker quinoa, the chewy, nutty texture of Einkorn adds a wonderful heartiness to soup or salad. Whole Einkorn flour is a staple in our house. I use it to bake (sourdough) bread, make whole Einkorn Dutch pancakes, and cook Einkorn wheat berries for a healthy breakfast or salad. This grain is incredibly tasty and nutritious. It offers excellent nutritional benefits, and I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Einkorn is the earliest wheat, the one Nature designed. It has not been modified, and is very different than modern wheat. It has more protein than modern wheat, but the protein is not all in the gluten, einkorn is low-gluten. I can eat wheat, but all types of it, even spelt and kamut, feel heavy compared to einkorn. All aspects of the nutritional profile are very impressive, do a search on 'einkorn nutrition' for this, it goes on and on. Einkorn has an amazing full and soft flavor compared to modern wheat. Because the hull is thin, it can be ground into flour in an electric coffee-mill. This flour smells a lot like graham crackers, only fresh, not stale. It can be used for bread, but needs to be mixed with flours with more gluten. People who make sourdough with white bread flour can use 50% whole einkorn flour, making bread by hand with other types of whole wheat I can get about 20% in before it wants to be balanced with a high gluten white flour. So, for bread, the major plus is the full, rounded flavor, but the lack of gluten means you need to compensate, or make pita. Einkorn is great at other forms of baking -- roti, chapati, muffins, scones, pancakes, cookies, etc. -- because it's lack of gluten means it can't get tough. The whole berries cook quickly, even more quickly if soaked overnight in the fridge, and can be used in place of small pasta in soup, or as an alternative to oatmeal for breakfast. Tremendous thanks to the farmers who have committed to growing something outside the consensus wheat loop. I was a baker back in the day and boy I wish I'd had this stuff!

This is exactly as described, it arrived as promised, appears to be well made, and a good value for the moneyI just wish they would put a packing slip in the package.This came in the manufacturers packaging 👍Limited or no single use plastic 👍No polystyrene foam packing (styrofoam) 👍👍

I’ve been searching for a healthy way to add fiber to my diet without purchasing a processed fiber that’s scooped out of a container and this checks all of the boxes for me. I also appreciate the size of this product for the price allowing me to make several batches of Eincorn without having to constantly re purchase, a great value. This grain arrives in tact with all of its healthy fiber making it chewy and delicious. I’ve used this grain to make healthy breakfasts with coconut milk and honey, salads with fresh vegetables and home made dressing, and warm bowls of eincorn with roasted vegetables and broth. I’ll be purchasing from this company again, and I’ll be trying their other products as well.

Good quality. Ancient Grains has recipes & tips on their website.

I recommend a 40/60 or a 30/70 ratio of einkorn to regular white whole wheat bread flour. This bread didn’t seem to rise as well but from what I’ve read that can be common with einkorn. However once in the oven and the final result it came out incredible and so much flavor!!!

I had never used einkorn to make bread prior. I used 50/50 mix of einkorn flour and whole wheat bread flour. I used a comparable amount of liquid as I would normally use for straight whole wheat bread. The dough was very wet and sticky. I added more bread flour during the kneading process but it remained wet throughout the process. Nevertheless, it turned out great and was a very tasty bread. Looking forward to trying some of Grand Teton's other grain products.

Well packaged and really good price
