What it is
This is a finely milled flour made from einkorn, an ancient grain. It has a naturally sweet flavor and a subtle cinnamon aroma. The flour is light in color and has a delicate texture. It is a good option for those looking for alternatives to modern wheat. The einkorn grain is one of the oldest cultivated wheat varieties. This flour retains some of the natural characteristics of the whole grain.

When baking, this flour can often be substituted for all-purpose flour in recipes. You may find that it absorbs liquid slightly differently, so a small adjustment to the liquid in your recipe might be beneficial.

For savory applications, it can be used to create a flavorful crust for chicken or fish, or to thicken gravies and stews. Its mild cinnamon notes complement both sweet and savory ingredients.
