Other Organic Spelt Products
Spelt is an amazing grain that is being rediscovered by Australians. Popular in Europe for centuries, spelt is used in a wide variety of cereals, bread, pastas and beers. Spelt has been used successfully as a wheat substitute for people who have wheat allergies. Once commonly grown, spelt was replaced at the beginning of the 20th century by modern wheat varieties, which are more suited to the high volume production techniques currently used on most Australian farms. The nutty and flavourful spelt taste has proven to be an attractive alternative to the common varieties of wheat. Spelt products are nutritious, versatile, and very tasty.
