Emmer flour, Pella

Description

Hard wholemeal emmer flour.
In emmer wheat, or zea, the husk of the grain (hulls) stays attached to the seed and is not removed during harvesting and threshing. This property allows it to keep a variety of nutrients.

It contains 40% more magnesium than other cereals.
The high levels of the amino acid lysine make pasta made from zea especially easy to digest.

It is rich in dietary fibre, vitamins (mainly of the B complex) and minerals, and rich in carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, which means that they are absorbed slowly by the body and release a small amount of glucose into the blood.

It is a source of nutrients such as proteins (11.2-22.7%), dietary fibre, minerals and bioactive compounds, while at the same time it is low in fat and gluten.

It is rich in polyphenols, carotenoids such as lutein, phytosterols and selenium, which have an antioxidant effect. These bioactive compounds also show antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties.

Suitable for pasta and bread.
