Description & ingredients
Whole Einkorn Wheat Berries
Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) is the original wheat. It was domesticated around 8,650 BC in the Fertile Crescent and has never been hybridized for industrial yield. These are the whole berries: the same Missouri einkorn that we stone-grind for our einkorn flour.
Ways to use them
- Mill your own flour. Grind small batches in a home grain mill for the freshest einkorn flour you can bake with.
- Cook them whole. Simmer them like farro for grain bowls, soups, and salads.
- Sprout them. Use sprouted berries in salads, breads, and recipes that call for fresh grain texture.
Baking with fresh-milled einkorn
Einkorn absorbs less water than modern wheat, so use about 15–20% less liquid and mix gently. It shines in pancakes, waffles, cookies, scones, banana bread, and fresh pasta, and is not ideal for tall sandwich loaves.
10 lb bag. One ingredient: whole einkorn wheat berries. Contains wheat (gluten). Store sealed in a cool, dry place.

Why Bake with Homestead Gristmill Heritage Wheat?
We grind on granite stones at our water-powered mill in Waco, Texas. Milled fresh each week, so it reaches your kitchen weeks — not months — after grinding. The bran and germ stay in, whether you're feeding a sourdough starter, baking a rustic loaf, or making morning pastries. No bleaching, no bromate, no enrichment.
How to Use Whole Einkorn Berries
Whole einkorn berries are the grain before it becomes flour. Buy them when you want to mill fresh at home, cook the grain whole, or sprout it.
Einkorn Wheat Berries, 10 lb are the same Missouri einkorn that we stone-grind for our einkorn flour. Einkorn has a simpler 14-chromosome structure than modern bread wheat, which carries 42, and it has never been hybridized for industrial yield.
Home millers can grind small batches for the freshest possible einkorn flour. Fresh einkorn flour absorbs less water than modern wheat, so use about 15 to 20 percent less liquid in a recipe and mix gently. It shines in pancakes, cookies, scones, banana bread, and fresh pasta.
