Einkorn, Black and Tan

Description

This is one of the two “free threshing” einkorn varietals we have heard about. This one was selected by Kevin Payne because “it was the best looking and best producing of the free threshing varieties” that he was growing. More than 90% of our seed was clean after winnowing.  Protein content is 35%- 50% higher than hard red wheat, somewhat equal to durum.  High in essential fatty acids, vitamin E, phosphorous, potassium, pyridoxine, and beta-carotene.  Einkorn’s gluten proteins appear to be less allogenic compared with those produced by other bread wheats.
