From Italy to you comes Jovial First Ever Einkorn Pasta. What is it? It is a pasta made from the same type of ancient grains that were among the first type of wheat to be cultivated. Einkorn is the most ancient species of wheat and was the first grain to be farmed by man over 12,000 years ago.
Avaiable in a variety of shapes, the look is similar to whole wheat pasta but the taste after cooking is somewhat lighter, yet meatier. Einkorn is high in Thiamin and is a good source of protein, dietary fiber and a number of B Vitamins. It also contains a significant amount of the powerful antioxidant Lutein, and has a higher content of proteins, tocols and carotenoids than other species of wheat.
Jovial will be sowing Einkorn next week for harvest in July 2011. But you can buy it now at stores such as Whole Foods. Rediscover a cherished grain of the past, and a versatile and tasty pasta of today.

Einkorn really is man's first cultivated wheat!
ReplyDeleteWe planted our einkorn a couple weeks ago and it's starting to sprout and grow! It's exciting to look forward to harvest next year.
I like how you pointed out einkorn's nutritional qualities. Have you ever tried it? We whole berries on our website, if you want to give it a try.
I will definitely have to try this!
