Savor the whole grain goodness of spelt, an ancient relative of durum wheat that originated in the Near East over 8,000 years ago. This heirloom grain later spread throughout Europe, becoming especially popular in Germany, where it was farmed throughout the Middle Ages.
Spelt has never been hybridized, so it has retained many of its original characteristics from antiquity, including complex flavor and whole-grain nutrition. Spelt is unusual because it can be more easily digested than other forms of wheat and many people with wheat intolerances have been able to tolerate spelt. Spelt is not gluten free, however. High in fiber and a good source of iron and manganese, our organic spelt is incredibly nutritious.
With a chewy texture and sweet, nutlike flavor, spelt is a great grain for hot cereal or to use in place of rice for pilaf, soup or cold salads. Spelt berries can be used in place of wheat berries, brown rice and other whole grains in your favorite recipes. Flour milled from spelt makes excellent bread, pasta and baked goods.

Clean, fresh and tasty
Thank you for a clean and fresh product. It milled up very nicely and tastes great in the pancakes, hamburger rolls and the several varieties of bread loafs we have made with it.

my absolutely favorite whole wheat replacement
Spelt is one of the ancient grains that is so versatile to cook with in replacing modern whole wheat. It tastes far superior than any wheat family members that I ever tried. It is also very water soluble, making it a great candidate for sourdough breads, pizza crust, pita, steamed bun breads. Sweeter than whole wheat with a very soft outer layer that packed with nutrients.

The spelt is fine, but I could have bought it locally for less than I could buy on line and pay shipping. Didn't discover that until I'd already ordered it.

My primary doctor (from Germany) recommended Organic Spelt Berries as a beneficial food and preferable to other varieties of wheat.

I use this for all my baking. It is simply yummy and very healthy. The texture of all my baking is unbelievable. Guilt-free baking and eating, what's not to love?

We have used spelt for years replacing flour. We make bread, cakes, pie crusts, muffins and gravies; anything you would normally use flour for.
Just recently we started making homemade pasta. Wonderful flavor and no gas after the meal. Same meatballs and sauce, same vegies, the spaghetti made with spelt made the difference. We had tried the Spelt spaghetti you can buy in the store and we were not happy with it.

We are following the Blood Type Diet for Type O's, and Spelt is one of the neutral grains we can have. It makes excellent breads, pancakes, waffles and other baked products.

Can you “sprout” it?
Hello, is your spelt in contact with wheat in your factory?
BEST ANSWER: Spelt is produced in our Conventional Facility on shared lines with wheat. Despite cleaning processes there is a chance for cross contact.
