Looking for bread that's easier to digest, more authentic, and rich in flavor? In Paris, several bakeries are reviving ancient grains to offer nutritious, artisanal breads full of character. Going against the grain of standardized breads, they are turning to ancient grains to rediscover the true taste of bread.
Einkorn, rye, khorasan, einkorn, ancient wheat varieties... These forgotten grains, oftenorganically grown, offer nutritional and flavor benefits far superior to modern flours. Less processed and easier to digest, these flours contain less modified gluten and are often baked with natural sourdough.
The result? Rustic loaves, well-developed crusts, dense and moist crumbs, and deep aromas of cereal, hazelnut, or honey. In addition to traditional breads with a twist, you'll also find creations made with ancient grains, breads enriched with dried fruit, and rustic brioches.
Want to take the plunge and open yourself up to new, healthier, and more original horizons? Here are the best bakeries in Paris that use ancient grains!
