What is Ancient Wheat? (Non-GMO) VS GMO Wheat
Ancient wheat, which is also known as Einkorn wheat, is wheat in its purest form without all the processing which most wheat undergoes. Some of the ancient grains include farro, quinoa, emmer and spelt. These ancient wheats are non-GMO, whilst crops such as soybean, commercial wheat and corn are often GMO. As with choosing any food, it’s beneficial to choose locally sourced wheat to reduce your carbon footprint. You can find locally caught grown made wheat products at your local health food store.
