[Sca-cooks] Emmer flour as samidh?

[David Friedman]

Someone suggested that emmer wheat might be the samidh in al-Warraq's 
recipes. I can find suppliers online, but they all seem to be supplying 
a whole wheat version. Al-Warraq specifies that samidh is low in bran, 
which I assume a whole wheat emmer would not be.

Am I making a mistake? Alternatively, does anyone have a source for 
emmer flour that does not include the bran?
