Soak Organic Spelt Berries in water for 1 hour, or even overnight is fine. Use 1 1/2 cups (8 oz / 250 ml) of water per 1 cup (6 oz / 180g) of berries. Then, bring them to the boil in a saucepan. Use the soaking water, plus a little more fresh water if needed to cover them. When they have reached a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender, about 45 minutes, then drain. You can use the cooked spelt in any recipe that calls for rice: salads, soups, stews, etc.

Organic Spelt
Organic spelt berries are wonderful grains that are high in protein. Spelt contains 15 - 21% protein which is much higher than wheat. It's also higher than wheat in complex carbohydrates, iron, potassium and the B Vitamins. Spelt is easier to digest than wheat products because of it's higher solubility in water. Spelt also contains nutrients that aid in blood clotting and also stimulate the immune system.
Spelt has a nutlike flavor and can be used in similar ways as other wheat products.
To cook: Bring 3 parts water to 1 part Spelt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for one hour. Serve as a side dish, mixed with breads, or eat by itself.
