| And ancient wheat like grain. (Edit, it is a species of wheat) Chewy and nutty when cooked right. According to google. (I had to look too).

| @pj Farro is italian Emmer grain. Very tasty! We baked the bottom of Quiches with Emmer instead of wheat or spelt - it has a strong nutty flavor (even more than spelt) and is more dense than the "modern" dough. Yummy.
Then we tried sourdough bread with Emmer - that didn´t go well. The end product fell into the category of "dwarfish warbread" according to the late Terry Pratchett.
The salad looks delicious! |

Nothing to add. Just have to express my appreciation for the Pratchett reference. Mr. Ironcrust would approve.
