'Farro piccolo' is the Italian designation for einkorn, accurately identifying it as distinct from farro medio (emmer/T. dicoccum) and farro grande (spelt/T. spelta). Einkorn has a different gluten structure from modern hexaploid bread wheat (T. aestivum), but is not gluten-free — it contains gluten-forming proteins.
