Emmer is a tall, bearded wheat whose history can be traced back to the wild grasses collected by hunter gatherers & then domesticated to create modern wheat crops. It is a hulled wheat with inedible husks, called glumes, that encase the grain & have to be mechanically removed before the grain can be milled or eaten. It has a slightly sweet & nutty flavour, which makes it great to use in baked goods such as cookies, cakes or muffins. We are also passionate about home baking & believe that what we eat today will affect our health & well-being tomorrow. Baking bread, cookies & cakes at home is a satisfying & rewarding activity.
