Why We Chose Organic Spelt Wheat
Spelt wheat (Triticum spelta) is an ancient grain that has been grown for over 7000 years. Revered by the Romans and Greeks, this heritage wheat is known for its rich nutty flavor, high nutritional content, and natural resilience. In our family-run farm, we chose to grow spelt because it aligns perfectly with our organic farming principles and our desire to create nourishing, chemical-free food.
What Makes Spelt Special?
Unlike modern wheat, spelt has a thick protective hull that keeps the nutrients intact. Although it’s harder to process and offers lower yield, the result is a more wholesome and nutrient-dense grain. Spelt is a great source of fiber, protein, vitamins B1 & B6, and essential minerals like magnesium and iron.
Spelt in Your Food
We use organic spelt in our handcrafted spelt pasta and other grain-based products. Its earthy, slightly sweet taste makes it perfect for:
- Homemade bread and sourdough
- Healthy pasta and noodles
- Nutritious pancakes and muffins
- Breakfast cereals and porridges
Spelt is easier to digest for many people and may be a gentler alternative to modern wheat. It provides long-lasting energy and helps you feel full longer — ideal for active lifestyles or balanced diets.
Better for You, Better for the Planet
Spelt naturally resists pests and disease, meaning it can be grown without harsh pesticides. That makes it perfect for organic farming and environmentally friendly agriculture. It’s an excellent choice if you want to reduce chemical exposure and support sustainable food systems.
