- Ancient Grains
Ancient Grains like Einkorn - the grandfather of today’s wheat - Emmer - the father of today’s wheat - Ancient Spelt, Ancient Rye, Ancient Barley and Khorasan have always been indispensable
ingredients of European bread making culture, some of them dating back to 10,000 BC.
In recent years, these original crops have been rediscovered, and the bread and bread rolls made with Ancient Grains are proving popular especially thanks to their incomparable flavor.
Baked goods made from Ancient Grains offer a pure taste experience, satisfy the longing for unadulterated foods, and meet the desire for conscious nutrition.
CSM Ingredients began dedicated cultivation of the Einkorn, Emmer, Ancient Spelt, Ancient Rye, Ancient Barley and Khorasan varieties together with selected agricultural partners back in
2006 and, since the launch of its first product in 2008, has consolidated unique know-how in the development of solutions for bread and pastries made from ancient grains.
Ancient Grains offers a flexible platform of mixes that allows bakers to differentiate their assortment with a focus on authenticity and taste, just like in the past, without compromising the simplicity and
goodness of your products.
