Wheat that differ form modern wheats. Such feature include the unique kernel characteristics of Khorasan (4,5), high carotenoid content of einkorn (10,11), and sound agronomic performance of spelt in low-input and organic agriculture system (29). This has led to the use of ancient wheat species as specialty wheats, e.g., organic spelt in Europe and North America and Kamut (Khorasan) in the United State . In addition, einkorn has a unique nutritional profile, exhibiting a relatively high content of phytonutrients such as carotenoids, tocols, conjugated polyphenols, alkylresorcinols, and phy- tosterols (20). wheat is the principal source of energy, protein, and fiber for a majority of the world's population, and whole grain wheat is rich in several vitamin, mineral, and antioxidants. Research suggests a number of ancient wheat species could contribute more than the basic nutrients to our diet and could be a source of additional antioxidants and health enhancing component.
