Description
Wheat Emmer #4047
(Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccum) (2nd of the 4 Ancient grains. A Hulled wheat that originated over 8000 years ago. Emmer is a trtrapioid and it has 4 chromosome sets compared to most grains which have 6 or more making it a very simple and easily digestible grain. High in nutrients.
Broadcast seed over well worked loose soil once soil warms up to 2 to 6 degrees Celsius and lightly rake in. Once seed germinates it requires very little work. Harvest when seed heads are full and dry. We harvest and allow ours to dry for several more weeks on racks prior to cleaning and storing. Emmer wheat has strong husks that enclose the grains and make it more difficult to release the grains from the husks without milling or pounding.
