50% Emmer (Farro) Sourdough Bread
Emmer (German for “hulled grain”) is one of the earliest forms of cultivated grains. Dating back thousands of years, like Einkorn Emmer was allegedly found in the tombs of ancient Egypt. It is referred to by some as “The Pharaoh’s Wheat.” Emmer in its wild form is a cross between Einkorn and grass. It is unique in flavor, nutritional benefits and genetic makeup. Where modern wheat has 42 chromosomes, Emmer has only 28.
This Emmer is a whole grain product that differs from the Italian import Emmer which is semi-pearled.
Additional info:
- Like Einkorn, is considered an original crop from the advent of agriculture in the fertile crescent
- Emmer is the grandmother of durum, and like durum makes excellent pasta and flatbread
- Emmer contains high levels of vitamins, minerals, & antioxidants as well as fiber and protein

Note: Since this flour contains wheat germ and wheat germ is an oil, this flour will not keep for as long as typical commercially milled white flour. Do not purchase more than you expect to consume within a few months. We mill fresh within a couple days of shipping. We recommend keeping your flour in airtight packaging or container and storing in a cool place or preferably the refrigerator or freezer.
