- einkorn soaked in water. You can soak einkorn in (warm) water for 12 hours and then put it in soups, salads, yogurt for breakfast etc.

- boiled einkorn. You can cook einkorn by letting it simmer for about 30 minutes, while stirring with a wooden spoon. Cooked einkorn can be added to any meal you would normally prepare with rice.

 Tip: Einkorn should be thoroughly rinsed before soaking or cooking
