EINKORN

InfraReady has introduced a new ancient grain into its product line. Einkorn originates as one of the ancient varieties of cereal grains. The grain is similar in appearance (colour and shape) to modern wheat however it is much smaller in size. InfraReady provides Einkorn in several forms including: whole grain flakes, meal, and flour.

This grain is one of the first cereal grains cultivated for food by man. Historical references to Einkorn suggest that early varieties of this grain were harvested as early as 9,000 BC. Archeologist finds have confirmed remains of this grain, in the digestive tracts of the Iceman (discovered in 1991). Further examination allowed scientists to determine the last meal of the Iceman consisted of unleavened bread made of einkorn wheat. Einkorn has re-emerged in domestic agriculture and is currently being grown in Canada.
