Monococcum (o Monococco) Bio

Our Story

Monococcum, also known as Small Emmer or Einkorn, is one of the most ancient varieties of wheat, cultivated for over 20,000 years in regions like Turkey and Iran. This diploid species has only two ears, unlike modern wheat varieties which typically have five or more ears. Einkorn is renowned for its high antioxidant content, with carotenoids and tocols, and its superior protein quality.

Description

The Monococcum wheat is characterized by its intense yellow color and distinctive flavor. Known for being a multi-vitamin grain, it contains 5 to 8 times more antioxidants, including carotenoids, and has higher protein content than other wheat varieties. While still under research, some suggest that Einkorn may be suitable for those with mild gluten sensitivities, though it is not safe for people with celiac disease.

Health Benefits

Monococcum is considered a “multi-vitamin” due to its high levels of antioxidants, including carotenoids, which provide strong health benefits. The high protein content supports muscle growth and tissue repair, while the presence of essential trace elements such as zinc, manganese, and iron promote overall body health. Its low gluten content may make it more digestible for some individuals who have mild gluten sensitivities.

Method of Preparation

To cook Einkorn (Monococcum) grains, soak them overnight to reduce cooking time. After draining, cook them with 3 parts water to 1 part grains, bringing them to a boil and then reducing the heat to a simmer for about an hour. Einkorn flour can be used in baking, though its low gluten content may require experimentation with liquid levels in recipes.
