Emmer and the Rye Free Diet

Emmer, or Triticum dicoccon, is a type of ancient wheat that has been cultivated for millennia. It is a hulled wheat, meaning its grains are tightly covered by tough husks that must be removed before milling or consumption. Emmer has a slightly chewy texture and rich, nutty flavor, often used in soups, salads, and breads. It is considered more resilient to harsh growing conditions than modern wheat varieties.
