Einkorn is the Original Wheat
Einkorn grew wild in the Fertile Crescent hundreds of thousands of years ago. The first bread was made with einkorn, and it was Ötzi the Iceman’s last meal.
Einkorn was the first seed planted by the first farmers 12,000 years ago during the Neolithic Revolution. Einkorn moved toward extinction during the Bronze Age. Left untouched, it’s the oldest and purest food in existence today.
In 2007, Carla and her husband Rodolfo discovered einkorn through a group of researchers in Italy. After introducing einkorn to their daughter’s diet, her symptoms of gluten sensitivity subsided and Carla’s family could feel good eating this healthy ancient grain.
In einkorn, Carla’s family found a wheat they could all feel good about eating, and they also discovered how delicious it is. What started as a small network of organic farms a decade ago has become jovial foods-the largest grower of einkorn in the world offering this pure and wholesome wheat to thousands of happy customers.
