Organic spelt

Good, better, spelt

Why do so many people who value a varied diet swear by baking ingredients made from spelt? This question is easy to answer. The grain not only scores with its delicate color and fine, nutty taste, but also with a much higher content of vitamins, protein and minerals than wheat. Vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C and E as well as the many minerals and trace elements make spelt a true superfood.

The eight essential amino acids, which our body needs for protein synthesis and therefore for the utilization of nutrients from food, are an additional plus point. Spelt is therefore much better tolerated than wheat and is ideal for people with a wheat intolerance. Our Oberkulmer Rotkorn is particularly easy to digest, as this "original spelt" has never been crossed with other types of grain. However, spelt also contains gluten, which is why it is not an alternative to wheat for coeliacs.

But that's not all: the unsaturated fatty acids in the grain can help to lower cholesterol levels. The high silica content, in turn, has positive effects on concentration and memory and ensures beautiful skin, shiny hair and strong fingernails.

Cereals in organic quality

Although spelt is related to wheat, it differs in a number of properties. Wheat has a higher yield, mainly due to the extensive use of fertilizers. Spelt, on the other hand, is undemanding and hardy in cultivation and less susceptible to pests. However, it cannot be cultivated to a high level and does not produce higher yields even with artificial fertilizers.

Nevertheless, it is associated with a significantly better ecological balance of the grain, which is further enhanced by the application of the strict Demeter guidelines of our suppliers. The spelt for our online store is guaranteed GMO-free and seed-resistant, no hybrid varieties are used and only biodynamic compost, spray and patty preparations are used to strengthen the soil and plants.

Rich selection

Discover for yourself how versatile spelt is. In our online store, we offer you many different varieties of the grain. The whole grain, for example, is ideal for anyone who wants to grind their own flour or flake or crush the stalks to extract the maximum amount of nutrients. Spelt flakes are an excellent low-fat alternative to oat flakes and taste delicious in dairy products or baked goods. Our wholemeal spelt groats, on the other hand, give your baked goods more bite.

Spelt bran makes yoghurt, quark and smoothies more filling and enriches them with valuable fiber. It can also be used when baking bread and unfold its positive properties in the dough. But it is not only suitable for internal use. It can also be used to make wonderfully nourishing masks, smoothing scrubs or regenerating bath additives.

Last but not least, we at the Spiegelhauer organic bakery offer spelt flour in classic and wholemeal varieties and in various packaging sizes. This makes baking a varied and original pleasure for both frequent bakers and small households. Hildegard von Bingen already knew that spelt is the "best grain".
