Serendipity Seeds Einkorn Wheat – 50 Organic Heirloom Seeds for Garden or Pots

Introduce the wonders of growing your own grain with the Serendipity Seeds Organic Einkorn Wheat Starter Pack. Containing 50 heirloom seeds, this ancient wheat species, Triticum monococcum, has been cultivated for over 10,000 years. It is known for its high protein content, rich flavor, and digestibility compared to modern wheat.

Ideal for both gardens and containers, Einkorn wheat adapts well to diverse soil conditions, especially poor, dry, or marginal soils. Its stalks grow to 28 inches, making it a manageable crop for small spaces. Whether you’re aiming to produce flour or simply enjoy its aesthetic appeal, this wheat variety offers a rewarding growing experience.

Einkorn produces one grain per hull, reflecting the meaning of its name, “single grain.” While it yields less than modern varieties, it compensates with superior nutrition and flavor. Because it is a hulled wheat, the grain is naturally protected from contamination and insects—perfect for organic growers.

Plant 1/4″ deep in well-drained soil after the last frost. In 120 days, you’ll have mature heads ready to harvest when the seeds turn dry. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place for long-term use. Einkorn is more resilient in cool climates and makes an excellent cover crop for wildlife like quail.

With this starter pack, you’ll receive non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom seeds, grown naturally in the U.S. At Serendipity Seeds, we pride ourselves on quality and customer satisfaction, offering guidance for successful germination and planting.
