Emmer is a foundational Ancient grain and is the second oldest of the four ancestral wheats
Our fresh milled Organic Emmer flour is naturally sweet and rich with a nutty flavor. It can be used in place of your common “whole wheat” flour for almost any recipe.
This nutritionally dense flour (From 12%, up to 16% protein) absorbs moisture quickly; more so than other whole wheat flour. When following standard recipes you may find that you need to add more moisture (about 1/4 more) than what the recipe calls for.
Emmer flour can be used as an alternative flour for some people suffering from wheat or gluten sensitivities. Some of our wheat-sensitive customers bake with it exclusively!
The flour is ground in a fine grind for multipurpose use. It works best in artisan breads, muffins, cookies, and coffee cakes. It also yields a wonderful rich brown rustic pasta.

Storage
All flour is perishable, and ours more so than store-bought flour, because we don't add enhancers or preservatives. Once opened, keep your flour in an airtight container. If you won't use it within 30 days of opening, move it to the fridge or freezer, where it stays fresh for up to a year. Whole flours keep less long than white flours, so they're best used sooner or chilled right away.
