Organic Spelt Grain
Organic Spelt Grain is Australian grown and Certified Organic. Spelt is an ancient grain that has a wholesome, nutty flavour and aroma.
Organic Spelt Grain is high in fibre and protein. It is also a good source of minerals and vitamins including iron, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc and vitamin B17. Due to spelt's high water solubility, the nutrients are easily and quickly absorbed into the body. Spelt may assist with digestion, reducing blood pressure, improving cholesterol levels, heart health, weight management and reducing risk of diabetes. Unlike wheat, where vital nutritional bran and germ are removed during milling, the vital substances of spelt are found in the inner kernel of the grain. Spelt flour is easier to digest than wheat and some people with wheat sensitivities may tolerate it in their diet.
Spelt grain is super versatile and can be ground into flour, sprouted or cooked in savoury and sweet recipes. Spelt Flour can be used in any recipe that requires plain flour. This flavoursome and nutritious flour is great to make bread, pancakes, pasta, pizza bases and cakes. It can be a nutritious addition to salads and juices either as sprouted Spelt or grown as Spelt grass. Cooked Spelt Grain can be used in soups, puddings or salads. If you pre-soak Spelt Grain, it will reduce the amount of time it needs to be cooked.
We recommend storing grain well sealed in the fridge.
