Haute-Provence Einkorn (or petit épeautre in French) is a local plant, traced back to 9,000 BC, and presumed to have arrived from the western coast of what is now Turkey. Today some 30 producers in the Haute-Provence, with fields spread around 235 municipalities at an elevation over 400 meters, have formed an association in order to defend and promote this special grain, which obtained PGI (protected geographical indication) status in April 2010.
