Introducing delicious Popped Einkorn atop one of our favorite salads!
SCALE
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Popped Einkorn Berries
- 1/2 head Green Leaf Lettuce
- 1 cup Spinach
- 2 cup Arugula
- 2 Tomatoes Chopped
- 3-4 Rings of Purple Onion Sliced
- 1/2 pound Steak Strips
- 1/2 cup Bleu Cheese Crumbled
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Reduction
Popped Einkorn
- 1/2 cup Einkorn Berries
- 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Real Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
1. Pop Einkorn. Put einkorn berries in frying pan with coconut oil on medium low. Caution: 
Einkorn berries are small and pop more quickly than popcorn so they burn quickly as well. It’s helpful to continually move them around. Also, keep in mind that, while the popping is audible, it is quieter than popcorn and can be mistaken for sizzling at first. When they are popped they will look like this. Watch for the split down the middle and the crunchy texture.
2. Set aside to let cool.
3. Cook steak strips in frying pan with a little balsamic reduction.
4. Assemble Salad ingredients and add steak and popped einkorn. Top with balsamic reduction. We buy Nampa Valley Grand Reserve Balsamic Vinegar because it already has the consistency of a reduction with no work!

Have you tried using the popped kernels as a cereal, like Puffed Wheat? Does the texture work for that use?
Hi Carmie, we have not tried that but I imagine it would work. If you try it, we’d love to hear how it goes.
Cooking first batch of berries. Now thanks to you pop some for salad or snacks. Thanks!
stumbled on your site 10 days ago and im glad i did. i got my order of 7lbs of whole berries and 5lbs of flour today and i can waot to start baking..
I heard about einkorn today for the first time on public radio. It was an interview with Diana Konkle who wrote a recipe book using einkorn. I’m very interested.
Hi Rose, we’re glad that word is getting out! It’s a remarkable grain. We’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Wow I had no idea you could pop them. Amazing and thanks for the recipe.
Can you pop the einkorn berries to eat as just a pop corn affect?
Carol, of course you can. We have a hard time saving any for the salad for that reason. They are a little less convenient than popcorn because they are so tiny. They split open and get crunchy but they do not puff up like popcorn. But they are definitely delicious enough to eat like popcorn!
