Wheat doesn’t agree with me and I’d given it up.  I was whining to a shopkeeper while on vacation and she told me about Einkorn Flour. Wow, what a game changer!

Einkorn flour is the original grain; it doesn't have the protein that effects people with gluten sensitivities.


As soon as I got home I ordered this amazing wheat that’s never been hybridized. I made Drop Biscuits with Einkorn Flour and didn’t have any reactions. Einkorn Drop Biscuits

My mother’s been on a gluten free diet for over 15 years. She had terrible reactions when she ate wheat.  I made her homemade bread! Woohoo, no repercussions. How could this happen?

 Why use Einkorn flour?

Einkorn’s been around 10,000 years. It’s the “original grain” and it does contain gluten, but it DOES NOT carry the protein that causes the sensitivities. Modern wheat has 42  chromosomes, but Einkorn flour only has 14 which makes it a diploid wheat.

Wheat allergies can cause mood swings and cause stomach issues, but Einkorn doesn’t. Read the founders of jovial foods story here.

The author of the bestselling book Wheat Belly, Dr. Davis, mentioned Einkorn in his book – saying that after eating Einkorn wheat products “… I felt no perceptible effects — In short, I felt fine. Whew!”. You can read more about his experience with Einkorn here.  Also, listen to Dr. Davis’ summary of the history of  wheat.

How to use Einkorn

Einkorn Flour does take a bit of getting used to. It absorbs liquids a little differently. I love playing in the kitchen, so I’ve enjoyed learning how to bake with this wonderful flour.

I don’t use a mixer when I bake with Einkorn I use a dough whisk. It’s extremely easy to use and great to travel with. When I visit my mother all I take is my Einkorn Flour and my dough whisk.

Dough whisks work great when baking with Einkorn flour.

 

Try my gingersnap cookie recipe. It’s a great beginning recipe to the Einkorn world. Eat well with no regrets!
