Rolled einkorn

Rolled einkorn kernels, organic.

The progenitor of all cultivated wheat species is einkorn. It is an ancient wheat that can be traced back to around 10,000 BC. Einkorn is a primitive type of wheat in the sense that it is related to wild grass species. Einkorn crossed naturally with other plants, and thus emmer arose. Emmer also crossed with other plants, and in this way we got spelt, which again developed through crossings into bread wheat - what we call wheat today.
