First cultivated thousands of years ago, einkorn is known as the oldest variety of wheat. This ancient grain is rich in a host of nutrients including beta carotene, protein, phosphorous, and potassium. Organic einkorn also has the highest amount of lutein of any other variety of wheat and is a rich source of tocotrienols and tocopherols, powerful antioxidants and forms of Vitamin E.
