Einkorn is an ancient type of wheat. Think of it as the grandfather of the grains we use to make wheat flour today. The name einkorn translated from German means ‘one grain’, hinting at its purity.
Modern wheat has been hybridized and cross-bred to give it certain characteristics. For one it has a thinner shell and is easier and more cost effective to process. Secondly, it has far stronger gluten than einkorn which is what we all love when making our breads.
But all that development has had some negative effects. While stronger gluten can be beneficial to the process of breadmaking, it can at the same time be detrimental to our gut health. Modern wheat has a lesser nutritional value than einkorn too.
