Spelt Berries, 45 lb in Sturdy Bucket
What's spelt?! Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times. Spelt is an ancient grain that resembles wheat, but does not have the same high gluten content. Spelt has a tougher husk than wheat, which may protect the nutrients better. Spelt has a somewhat nuttier and slightly sweeter flavor than whole wheat, and contains more protein than wheat. Spelt protein is easier to digest than wheat protein, so many people can tolerate spelt products even if they are allergic to regular wheat products. Spelt has less calories, but more niacin and riboflavin than wheat. I like to add spelt to my diet as a break from wheat, plus it has unique nutrition that makes it a quality food!
Use spelt flour to replace whole wheat in your recipes, and i doubt you'll be able to tell a difference! Spelt can be sprouted to add to soups or salads. It can also be milled into flour and made into bread. Use my favorite bread recipe with this modification: knead the bread dough gently (by machine on the lowest setting) for just 5 minutes. The bread dough will feel like silly putty (sorry, that's the best description I can come up with!) Continue with the recipe and your end result will be delicious nutty tasting spelt bread. My family cannot really tell it apart from wheat bread!
Our spelt berries have been packed in an oxygen-removed sturdy bucket, 45 lbs. of it. Will last in storage for 30+ years.
We use a Bucket Opener to easily remove the lid each time we use it.
