Rolled spelt flakes are a delicious alternative to rolled oats. Spelt is believed to increase energy, offering a more sustained energy release than wheat as measured on the glycemic index. Although it contains gluten, it can be a safe alternative to wheat for people with certain wheat allergies.
Because both emmer and spelt are higher root-mass crops than conventional wheat, they draw up more of the soil’s nutritious vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than wheat, storing them in their grain. Spelt is particularly high in zinc, an essential nutrient tied to better immune system functioning.
This certified organic spelt cereal comes from grains that are grown on a family farm on the Columbia Plateau of Eastern Washington, which is known for superior quality cereal grain production because of its arid climate and fertile, mineral-rich soils. It is a pure-line, non-GMO crop.
We also sell whole spelt berries, spelt flour, and cracked spelt cereal.
Applications: Rolled spelt flakes can be used in place of rolled oats in homemade granola and baking. Try adding them to bread or cookies!
They can also be cooked similarly to oats in order to make spelt “oatmeal.” To cook, first stir flakes into boiling water (two parts spelt to three parts water). Reduce heat to low, stir, and cover the pot. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let sit covered for five minutes prior to serving. Try topping with fruit for an even more nutritious breakfast.
Some home brewers swear by using spelt flakes to make homemade spelt “wheat beer.”
