Keto Diet
Einkorn’s lower glycemic index helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, while its high-quality carbohydrates provide sustained energy.
It’s Different Now.
Like us, you likely thought wheat meant inflammation, bloating, and discomfort. We’re here to offer a different story.
Einkorn is nutrient-rich and has never been hybridized - giving it higher total protein, lower total gluten, and a simpler type of gluten that's much easer to digest.
Our commitment to safety
CD is a painful and potentially life-threatening gluten-related illness and we will never recommend our product for those diagnosed with CD.
Epipur is dedicated to restoring the purity and nutrition of wheat as it was before modern hybridization, before modern diseases. We are committed to providing a product that reconnects you with nature's original grain.
Science has the clues
Einkorn has a different genetic structure than modern wheat, making its gliadins and glutenins different as well. Studies dig deeper into its structure and initial results are promising.
Initial studies suggest that einkorn may be more digestible for some individuals, and initial study (Dewar et al., 2006) showed that the gluten fragments in einkorn may be less likely to stimulate a damaging immune response in those with CD.
Einkorn, the
Ancient Wheat
Humans hybridized wheat in the rush for greater yields, but altered its very structure for the worse. Other ancient grains, like Emmer and Spelt are naturally hybridized – yes, nature hybridized wheat too! – but it didn't make them that much better than modern wheat.

Modern Diet, Timeless Grain
A true heirloom grain has a place in the modern world
Paleo Diet
Einkorn challenges traditional views of the Paleo diet, which typically excludes grains.
Historical evidence reveals that Einkorn predates the Paleolithic Era and was integral to early human diets, offering substantial nutritional benefits.
Weight Management
Einkorn’s high fiber content not only leaves a feeling of fullness, but can also improve metabolism, digestion, and overall well-being.
Its low saturated fat content may aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, while its lower glycemic index can improve blood sugar control and overall health.
Plant-Based
Einkorn’s gentle gluten and high protein content fits right into your plant-based diet of choice.
Einkorn pasta is also made with only water and wheat, making it a natural plant-based option.

Einkorn Facts
What is einkorn?
Einkorn is a wheat that has never been hybridized. It’s unique type of gluten is easier to digest and does not cause inflammation.
Is einkorn pesticide-free?
Yes! Einkorn is naturally pest-resistant. It's also drought resistant, making it one of the most nature-friendly food there is.
I’m celiac. Can I eat einkorn?
The genome most responsible for the aggravation of CD doesn’t exist in einkorn. However, Einkorn, like all wheat is still not recommended for people with CD.
Is einkorn GMO?
GMO process involves isolating a gene and inserting it to a host's DNA. This practice is not usually done for any species of wheat, and was never done for Einkorn.
Is einkorn gluten free?
Einkorn is not gluten-free, but its uniquely simple gluten is a better choice than modern wheat for people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) to enjoy.
Is einkorn an ancient grain?
Ancient grains have genetic structures that are largely unchanged over thousands of years. Unlike some ancient grains that were hybridized as far back as 9,000 years ago, einkorn has never been hybridized in its 14,000-year history.
