Azure Husbandry Einkorn Ancient Grain Wheat Seeds, Unhulled, Organic

With summer on its way, there’s lots of planning to do if a productive garden is what you’re hoping for. Choosing the right seed varieties can be just as important as the climate where you live. But what better way to try a seed than to get it from a trusted organic source?

(OP)  112-140 days (outdoors) 10-14 days (wheatgrass/fodder) – Heirloom. Einkorn is considered the most ancient wheat. It grows on a finer stalk, more like a grass than normal wheat. Einkorn is packed with more nutrients, vitamins, and dietary minerals than regular wheat. It can have as much as 40% more protein and 15% less starch than commercial wheat varieties. This is why it is so beneficial to use this ancient grain for growing wheatgrass. Einkorn makes wheatgrass juice a real powerhouse in nutrients.

Einkorn natively grows in a hull that does not separate from the kernel during harvest. Most Einkorn berries that are available on the market have gone through a dehulling process, so it can be used in baking purposes and grinding into flour.  

This Einkorn seed is very unique because it still has the hull on it. For the purpose of sprouting and growing the Einkorn, it is best to have the hull still intact. Experts say that the hull protects the kernel from disease and rot, allowing the kernel to sprout well and have better germination, which is what you want when growing wheatgrass or fodder.

These organic seeds that are grown on the farms in Dufur and Moro, Ore., have been harvested from the fruits, vegetables and flowers that continue to thrive every spring and summer in the valley below Mount Hood. These are the same seeds Azure will continue to use for years to come.
