Emmer
Triticum dicoccum. An ancient, hulled wheat variety native to the Fertile Crescent in Western Asia. Emmer is one of the oldest domesticated crops, though it was harvested as a wild grain for thousands of years before its domestication.
When processed for food, emmer is often called farro. It can be used as a whole grain/wheat berry or ground into flour for bread.
A single packet of wheat seeds will plant a 3 ft x 3 ft with a dense stand of wheat. Wider spacing is recommended for better productivity.
Emmer grains will need to be dehulled after harvest before eating. This can be a labor intensive process. Not from our seed bank collection but your purchase supports our conservation mission.
- Approx. 24g/700 seeds per packet.
- Approx. 3300 seeds per 4 oz.
- Limit 3 packets.
