Organic Einkorn Wheat Berries 10 lb.
We pack our einkorn wheat berries right at the farm where they are grown! Wheat berries are the whole grain or kernel. Einkorn grows inside an outer husk which is carefully cleaned, without polishing or pearling the grain so you are eating 100% of the bran and germ. Einkorn is the first and most ancient variety of wheat that has never been hybridized and is quickly becoming the wheat of choice for the gluten sensitive because of its very weak gluten.
Einkorn wheat berries should be stored properly to ensure freshness. The most prudent step to proper storage is estimating and storing only what you’ll be using over a 1-2 month period and not opening more than that amount. If you bake infrequently, it is not a good idea to buy a bulk amount. It’s best to buy smaller amounts more frequently and then always work with the freshest ingredients.
Our einkorn wheat berries are packaged in cellophane bags and will stay fresh in the unopened bag until the expiration date on the package if stored properly in a cool location. Once opened, wheat berries can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container away from direct sunlight or heat for 60 days. For longer storage or if the temperature in your kitchen is frequently above 75⁰F, storing in a fridge or freezer in an airtight container is recommended.

How special it is to even talk about this product! I found out about Jovial and Einkorn not long after I met my husband. We were both looking for ways to improve our diets and I was particularly struggling with gluten sensitivity. Then Einkorn immediately became the main ingredient in our baking. The whole wheat flour has been, since then, the food of our sourdough starter, and I can't imagine any product better than this.
Both whole wheat and all-purpose flours, have unique and complex flavors and colors. Anything made of einkorn is a reminder to my senses, of how much I enjoy this tiny precious wheat.
In the past, I purchased these berries from a retailer, but how pleased I was to find out that a 10 lb box is available here. The berries are soft and easy to mill. It is a true privilege to have a high-quality fresh flour to make our breads, cakes, cookies and many other delicious things. When I make bread, about 85% of the time my priority is flavor and nutrition, over appearance. It's certain that a whole wheat einkorn bread is going to look a bit more "squat" than most recipes, but that's totally fine, because I can't find the same flavor anywhere else.
Einkorn berries are also amazing for tabouli, or just any salad that we would like to add a deep and complex flavor to.
Thanks Jovial team for making this incredible product available!
- ABAmy B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoLove these wheat berries!
I absolutely love these wheat berries. I always have some cooked in the fridge to add to soups, salads, or my morning oatmeal to make a hearty and healthy meal. I love the chewy texture and the nutritional punch these little berries pack. I’m thinking about ordering the grain grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid and grinding my own whole wheat flour. Yet another reason to love these little berries!

I just started milling and being a jovial einkorn only kind of gal, I needed to get some wheat berries. Not only do these taste great made into bread, I enjoy making wheat berry salads and putting them in soup as opposed to using pasta. I will continue to purchase them!

We have eaten this like a pilaf and as a porridge. Great both ways.
