Ancient Grains

A great summary of ancient grains. Next on the list to try Einkorn.

ANCIENT GRAIN: EINKORN

Einkorn was included under “Farro” as “farro piccolo” on the first post of this series, but it deserves its own since it’s regarded as the most ancient wheat and among the first grains domesticated by early farmers, round 10,000 years ago in southeast Turkey; wild einkorn was harvested as early as ~15,000 BCE.

I think there needs to be map of grain regions and varieties in the Pacific Northwest.
