\"what<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Einkorn is a species of wheat that differs from modern wheat used to create the majority of the wheat-based products in stores today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is one of the earliest forms of grain than humanity is known to have consumed and its use stretches back 10,000 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, is einkorn an ancient grain? You can argue that it’s the most ancient. It may be the first cultivated grain for humankind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike modern wheat, it is a low-yielding crop. However, it can also thrive in poor soil and low moisture conditions where modern hybrid wheat would suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also contains a hull that protects the wheat berries. This can make processing more tedious but it does help reduce the risk of mycotoxin growth on the wheat berries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
