Our organic whole einkorn flour is made by "La Milanaise" in Quebec from organic whole einkorn "Triticum monococcum". It has a low gluten content, but is nevertheless suitable for making bread. It should be cut with wheat flour so as to obtain a better yield. It has a hazelnut-like flavor that is more distinct than that of wheat flour.
Whole einkorn flour is made from whole grain einkorn and thus retains the nutrients found in whole grains. Whole grains have the 3 parts of the grain; The bran, endosperm and germ.
Whole grain flour health benefits come mainly from its high-fiber content. High-fiber grains help you with digestion, gut health, and weight management. The FDA even affirms that high-fiber, low-fat diets help reduce the risk of cancer and prevent coronary heart disease.
This organic flour can be used to make: breads, cakes, muffins, pancakes, pie crusts and waffles.
