Emmer, triticum dicoccum, is one of the first grains cultivated by mankind and was one of the main cereal foods of pre-history. Today Emmer has been re-discovered and is popular in many parts of Europe. With a deep earthy flavour, this flour is creamy in texture and produces delicious loaves of bread, but can also be used in place of your usual white or wholemeal plain flour, with raising agents added, for cake and biscuit baking.
