I made this recipe again yesterday. https://bakinghermann.com/zeytinyagli-pirasa-turkish-leeks-with-olive-oil/#recipe

However this time I used einkorn berry as my grain. I found at my local co-op. I've used it before and really liked it. However, yesterday I looked it up, and found the results very interesting!

Apparently it's one of the oldest used grains by humans! Pretty neat! It's also delicious

Served with toasted garlic sourdough made by a local baker.

If anyone knows where to find seeds for Einkorn, I'd one hundred percent try to grow this instead of my lawn lmao. Apparently its a pretty hardy plant

Calling them einkorn "berries" makes this a salad.

Kidding of course, but it looks delicious! As for planting einkorn "seeds," if the einkorn you purchased from your local co-op is whole grain and not treated in any way you can probably just plant it (not vouching for the legitimacy of the info on this site, but it seems straightforward enough): https://farmandanimals.com/how-to-grow-einkorn-wheat/

What I would probably do is try to sprout a few einkorn berries to see how viable they are. If you get a certain amount of it to sprout then I would just buy more einkorn and sow it. You don't really need any special equipment for sprouting - a jar or a tray and some paper towels should do it. I've purchased Sprout People's sprouting cups and use their reference material previously: https://sproutpeople.org/pages/growing-sprouts

Either way, it's great that you're appreciating an "ancient" wheat. Good luck turning your lawn into a wheat field. Keep us posted!

Amazing information! Yeah, I read that the berry is called that because its husk is removed, and you're right, it should sprout. I'm definitely trying it. It's the wrong time of year to plant right now, but I'm going to try it anyway.

Thank you for the information and reference matieials, im totally checking it out. You've no idea how dope I think it is!

I keep trying to upload a photo of the raw einkorn berry to share and it keeps timing out. Whether in a comment, or edit to my post, it fails. All well.
