Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) is the first wheat domesticated by humans over 14,000 years ago. It is drought-resistant, pest-resistant, and retains a higher protein and nutrient profile compared to modern wheat. Unlike hybridized wheat, einkorn has a simpler gluten structure, making it easier to digest and less inflammatory. The grain is rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants, making it a valuable food source that promotes overall health and well-being.
Nutritional powerhouse
Einkorn stands out with its superior nutrient content. Its high fiber and low starch content make it an excellent choice for maintaining digestive health and promoting a balanced gut microbiome.
• Protein: Einkorn contains up to 30% protein, higher than modern wheat.
• Vitamins: It has more B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine), A vitamins and vitamin E.
• Minerals: Higher levels of zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium.
• Antioxidants: Rich in carotenoids (lutein), polyphenols, and phytosterols.
Microbiome and
heart approved
Einkorn supports a healthy gut microbiota due to its prebiotic effects, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. Its high fiber content aids in maintaining intestinal health and regularity. Einkorn also has a lower glycemic index, leading to more stable blood sugar levels with less insulin spikes. The grain’s lipid profile, with higher levels of unsaturated fats and lower levels of saturated fats, supports heart health.
Easily digestible and
low-inflammatory
One of einkorn’s most significant advantages is its unique gluten structure. Unlike the complex gluten found in modern wheat, einkorn’s simple diploid gluten is easier to digest, making it suitable for individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Studies have shown that einkorn contains fewer immunogenic peptides which reduces the risk of triggering celiac disease symptoms as well as lower pro-inflammatory cytokine responses which help reduce inflammation.
Versatile and delicious
With its rich, nutty flavor and versatile culinary applications, einkorn can easily be incorporated into various recipes, from pasta and bread to crackers and cereals. Its ancient heritage and exceptional taste make it a favorite among chefs and health-conscious consumers alike.

Supporting modern health trends
Einkorn aligns perfectly with modern dietary trends such as Paleo and Keto. Its lower glycemic index helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, while its high-quality carbohydrates provide sustained energy without the blood sugar spikes associated with modern wheat. This makes einkorn an excellent addition for those following low-carb or high-protein diets.
