Ancient Grains – By Greg Hall

Greg Hall is the founder and owner of Khorasan Mills, a Utah-based business focused on organic and regeneratively grown ancient grains like Khorasan wheat, spelt, einkorn, and emmer. These grains are considered “ancient” because they have remained largely unchanged for thousands of years, unlike modern wheat varieties that have been heavily hybridized. Hall’s work involves educating people about the nutritional benefits of these grains, their lower and more digestible gluten content, and their use in baking, particularly sourdough. With over a decade of experience in whole-grain and sourdough baking, he partners with farmers using sustainable methods to produce flour and bread mixes. His mission ties into a broader interest in historical grain cultivation and traditional milling practices, though he operates in a contemporary setting rather than with literal ancient mills.
