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.
How to Cook Spelt
To cook: Bring 3 parts water and 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.
Spelt has a nutlike flavor and can be used in similar ways as other wheat products.
Spelt Storage
Organic spelt should be stored in tightly sealed plastic or glass containers in a cool, dry, dark cabinet for up to 6 months. There are approximately 2 1/2 cups per pound.
