Cultivated for at least 5,000 years, spelt is a truly ancient grain. These pearled grains have a delicious nutty flavour and are a great alternative to rice or barley in risotto, soups and casseroles. Spelt is also delicious cooked as a side dish or added to salads.
The grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a table-top Mockmill for flavoursome and nutritious flour.
