Emmer

• TS580

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.
