Along with einkorn wheat, emmer was one of the first crops domesticated in the Near East, and considered the mother of Spelt

Emmer flour has a beautiful flavour and makes a great addition to bread. While it can be used at 100%, the higher bran content can make it a bit difficult to handle, and requires slightly longer resting time to allow hydration and to allow the glutens to get more structure.

For an easier loaf, we recommend blending it with a high protein Bakers flour so that you still get that beautiful emmer flavour, you get the extra stretch that comes from a high protein modern wheat.

Unfortunately, we are no longer able to source the certified organic emmer flour, so instead we found the next best thing; ASP certified sustainable. For more information about the sustainable certification, check out the ASP website to see if it is right for you.

This emmer flour was stoneground by Wholegrain Milling in Gunnedah NSW

More off-shelf commercial GMO wheat flour

This flour has way too much elasticity, which real stoneground Emmer doesn't. I will simply say, not pure stoneground Emmer. p.s. I had home grounded Emmer wheat as well as few other non GMO wheat for a long time, so I know a thing or two about stonegrounded ancient wheat flour.

Hi A,

Sorry the flour wasn't what you were after. You can be assured that this product is defintely not GM as it would not be able to be certified by Certified Sustainable. There is currently only one Genetically Modified wheat species cleared for commercial sale in Australia. The varietal's particular genetic modification is to be 'round up ready', i.e. not affected by Glyphosate ; the wheat is known as 'HB4 Wheat'; a modern wheat that is suitable for mass production.

As for the elasticity, there are a number of reasons for difference. There are 30-40 domesticated subspecies of Emmer (Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccum) available for farmers to access from the Horsham Genebank. Wild emmer (Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccoides) is not available for growing in Australia and is not considered suitable for commercial use.

Seasonal variations also contribute to differences in grain characteristics. On farm, growers save seeds from their preferred harvests to plant the next season, which affects the grain's qualities over generations. Differences can also occur even when the same grower plants the same seed in different paddocks during the same season. In testing, we've observed up to a 10% difference in protein levels in the same species of wheat from the same year, and up to 40% variation in Khorasan grain (an ancient grain that has been genetically tested) from different growers. These protein differences can impact the grain's elasticity.

Wonderful

Adds a great taste to bread. Usually mix at 50/50 and the end product is a bit denser but really good eating. Khorasan may be slightly fluffier, but this wins out with a slightly stronger taste. Can't go wrong either way.
