However, as the company has grown, so has our range of products, an expansion which has resulted in the fantastic Einkorn offerings we have today. While Einkorn flour might not be as commonly found in your local supermarket as its almond or rye counterparts, historically, Einkorn is the oldest form of wheat, with its benefits having been noted across thousands of years! In this blog, we\u2019ll be answering some of your most-asked questions surrounding Einkorn while talking you through some of our favourite Einkorn products, allowing you to get better acquainted with this subtly sweet and deeply nutritious grain \u2013 so what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #b68d65\">What is Einkorn?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Einkorn is often referred to as the original \u201cstaff-of-life\u201d grain and is known to be the oldest variety of wheat, dating back thousands of years. Today Young Living is helping to bring Einkorn back to its rightful prominence in the world thanks to our versatile Einkorn flour and delicious Einkorn product range. Highly nutritious and un-hybridised, Einkorn products are a tasty must-have for your kitchen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-85533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/04\/blog-Einkorn-France-YL-body-image-EUR-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Einkorn Grain in Hands\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/04\/blog-Einkorn-France-YL-body-image-EUR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/04\/blog-Einkorn-France-YL-body-image-EUR.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #b68d65\">Why is Einkorn so good for you?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Einkorn\u2019s natural genetic code and low gluten levels make it an excellent choice when it comes to flour, due to its typical compatibility with the human body when compared to the modern hybrid wheat of today. Because it\u2019s the only form of wheat that\u2019s completely un-hybridised, a term that refers to the cross breeding of different varieties of wheat to increase yield and strength, Einkorn grain is the purest and most natural product you can buy, and is a particularly great alternative to modern wheat products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please note: We do not recommend the consumption of Einkorn for those with coeliac disease or gluten intolerances.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #b68d65\">Where do we grow Einkorn at Young Living?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lucky for us, Einkorn is a low maintenance crop that does not require any added fertiliser or irrigation \u2013 all it needs is sun, rain, and love! For many years, we\u2019ve been growing Einkorn at our Simiane-la-Rotonde Lavender Farm and Distillery in Provence for one clear reason \u2013 it acts as a fantastic rotation crop with our fragrant lavender plants, meaning that after an area of our land grows lavender for 10 years, we take out the lavender and plant Einkorn in its place! Not only does it replenish the nutrients in the soil, but it ensures that cycles for bugs and potential disease do not begin.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-85548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/04\/blog-Einkorn-France-YL-body-image-EUR-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Einkorn and Lavender Fields at the Young Living Simiane-la-Rotonde Lavender Farm and Distillery in Provence\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/04\/blog-Einkorn-France-YL-body-image-EUR-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/04\/blog-Einkorn-France-YL-body-image-EUR-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #b68d65\">What Einkorn products do we offer?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to producing our highly nutritious Einkorn flour, we offer a range of delicious Einkorn products that are ready to eat, packed with fibre and promise a fantastic alternative to hybridised, modern wheat.
