Einkorn wheat is one of the oldest ancient grains. Having been left relatively untouched by modern agriculture, einkorn has also a different gluten composition and has been found to be more digestible than modern wheat flour. It is a good alternative if you have a gluten sensitivity however, it is not suitable for coeliacs. You can buy einkorn flour from health stores and some supermarkets.
