Have you heard of einkorn wheat?
This delicious meatball and pasta dinner is a wonderful way to celebrate the beauty of einkhorn, the world’s oldest cultivated wheat. It has never been hybridized or altered by modern farming, which means:
Easier Digestion: Modern wheat has 42 chromosomes, but einkorn only has 14. This gives it a simpler gluten structure that is much easier for many people to digest.
High Nutrition: It is packed with protein, healthy fats, and powerful antioxidants (like lutein) that reduce inflammation.
Low Glycemic Index: It breaks down slower in your body. This helps prevent sudden blood sugar spikes.
As these meatballs are made with whole wheat einkhorn flour, shiitake and lion’s mane mushrooms, and tempeh, they are jam-packed with protein, beta-glucans, and various compounds that support cognitive, gut, cardio-metabilic, and immune health. And combined with fennel, this unique flavor and texture combination is superfood alternative to your traditional meatball.
