Emmer is an ancient grain with lower gluten content and rich fibre and minerals content. Emmer Spaghetti is a healthier option for making your favourite pasta dish.
Grain Mill uses the old fashioned way of milling the grains with slow, hand-crafted stone mills leaving the flour unheated and therefore unharmed, with a high nutritional profile. Their pasta is made with wholegrain flours and is free from preservatives, flour improvers, and any synthetic additives.

Did you know?
Emmer (Einkorn’s next relative) is, the most unknown and underrated member of the ancient grain family. It developed as a natural cross between Einkorn and goat grass. Where modern wheat has 42 chromosomes, Emmer only has 28. During the Neolithic Age, emmer could be found as the main grain in almost every settlement in the Near East.
Emmer was a nutritious daily staple of the ancient Romans and is referred to by some as “The Pharaoh’s Wheat” as it was found in the tombs of ancient Egypt.
Just like Einkorn, Emmer contains lower gluten and higher protein levels but in addition, it is also very rich in fibre. Particularly noteworthy is the high content of zinc, magnesium and carotenoids.
When it comes to pasta, Emmer is one of the Grain Mill’s favourite grains. It is the grandmother of durum, and like durum makes excellent pasta with a perfect al dente bite, and a fine, nutty aroma.
Emmer grain, also known as Farro, can be prepared like brown rice and cooked in 50-60 minutes (or can be soaked overnight to reduce the cooking time). It makes a fabulous pilaf, grain salad, risotto, addition to soup, or sprouted for bread and salads.
