Organic Spelt

Spelt is an Ancient Grain which gave rise to modern bread wheat (Triticum, aestivum). It is native to southern Europe and it was a very important crop in ancient and medieval times.

Organic spelt grain is a delicious and nutritious cereal grain which has an outer layer of bran intact.
It is naturally high in fibre and protein and it lends itself well to complex flavours and a myriad of delicious dishes.

How to Prepare

Note: Whole grains should be rinsed and drained prior to soaking and sprouting.

To cook, bring two parts water to one part of Spelt kernels to a boil and boil 35 minutes for a firmer ‘Al Dente’ texture or 45-60 minutes for a softer texture.
Drain excess water.
Pre-soaking the grain will reduce cooking time.
