Organic Spelt Berries (Ancient Grain)
Available sizes: 2 lb • 7 lb • 50 lb
These are whole spelt berries. You must have a grain mill to grind these into flour. We do not currently offer milling services.
Our Organic Spelt is an ancient grain carefully sourced from organic farms and prized for its rich history, nutty flavor, and exceptional digestibility. Spelt has been cultivated for thousands of years and remains a favorite among traditional bakers and those seeking gentler whole-grain options.
🌾 Why You’ll Love This Grain
Ancient grain with deep roots:
Spelt is one of the oldest cultivated forms of wheat, dating back over 7,000 years. It has been used across Europe and the Middle East for centuries and is valued for its resilience, nutrition, and flavor.
Easier to digest for many people:
While spelt does contain gluten, its gluten structure is more fragile than modern wheat. Many people find spelt easier to digest due to its lower gliadin content and more water-soluble proteins (note: not suitable for those with celiac disease).
Balanced protein & extensibility:
Spelt typically contains 11–13% protein, producing dough that is extensible and soft rather than overly elastic. This makes it ideal for tender loaves, rustic breads, and baked goods with a delicate crumb.
Nutty, slightly sweet flavor:
Fresh-milled spelt flour has a warm, nutty taste with subtle sweetness that shines in both savory and lightly sweet recipes.
Fresh-milled advantage:
Grinding spelt berries fresh preserves their nutrients, aroma, and natural oils—resulting in flour with superior flavor and nutrition compared to store-bought alternatives.
