Please give me your opinion if this is the right kind, farmer told me that the country's climate and even each year if it rains more or less can make the difference in the colour of the crop but this is the organic emmer wheat's picture from a farmer in alberta, canada.

it does look like rye, actually i looked at rye images and they look more reddish and exactly like the ones people have posted on this site. a farm in bc has more reddish emmer wheat but we get rye breads here in all markets why it never say emmer on them. I have not came accross on site so far while searching for emmer which mention rye anywhere. I'll have to figure it out. and yes rye is way better than a lot of grains.

this site tells that rye and emmer are not the same. I have also sent an email to the farmer to find out.

confirmed with the farmer where i got this picture from, this is emmer and rye is a different grain which is also very good for diabetic people.

Hi kksharma,

I think a very very important point that was brought up earlier has come up now from you also. I am glad about that. Long Wheat = Jau Wheat not Jau Barley; that is it.

The picture is exactly jau and it canot be wheat at any cost in north it is known as jau-means barely and it is used to make dalia of jau which is very healthy in eating.Even in my child hood we use to eat mix flour of jau and grams.

In North America the farmer can't sell it as Emmer wheat if it's not. The above food control body would not allow it. Also, I have barley in my kitchen cupboard and the length of the grain is half of the size of this picture wheat. It is not Jaun/Jau which is readily available every where in Canada. I think I had attached a site which contains all the grain's discriptions. This is definitely not rye or jau. ehnesorganic.com/faith-red-...

I just didn't want to advertize untill the farmer hull it and I receive it as promised. Rye does look like this but a bit redder and that's where I got confused not that this farmer was lying to me or something. So Now from the site which expains the facts about all the grains clear my doubts that Rye and Emmer are not the same.
