Professeur Henri Joyeux said :

"Einkorn is an excellent cereal; its nutritive qualities are exceptional, which means it is one of the best cereals. If most of the cereals would be eliminated because they were allergen we could keep einkorn as it has not had genetic handlings. The people who grow this cereal have an exceptional product".

Einkorn is rich in caroten, which gives it its orange colour.
