"I heard about your products from an alternative medicine nurse who recommended that I try your spelt breads and avoid wheat breads. I notice that after eating your breads that I don't feel as heavy or full as I did after eating the wheat products. Your original recipe has a good flavor." Kim C.

The Many Nutritional Benefits of the Ancient Grain Spelt

Due to the lower yields and the expensive equipment needed to remove its tight outer hulls…over the years this ancient grain became a less then a favorable crop for farmers and in turn a nearly forgotten grain.

Spelt made its comeback in the early 80’s when people with certain types of food sensitivities discovered they could eat spelt with no adverse effects.

Spelt literally made its reappearance in the U.S. through word of mouth testimonials. Today spelt is recognized throughout the United States as an alternative ancient grain. One that is far superior nutritionally to modernized wheat(s). It is no longer sought after only by those with food sensitivities.

Spelt in Comparison to Wheat

• Approximately 30% higher in Thiamin (Vitamin B1)
• Approximately 25% higher in B6
• Approximately 45% higher in Vitamin E
• Higher in unsaturated fatty acids (mainly Linol acid and Linoleen acid) which are important for regeneration of nerve cells.
• It is higher in water solubility, making it easier to digest and aiding in the nutrients being more easily absorbed by the body.
• Approximately 10-25% higher in protein, promoting fitness strength, muscle expansion and endurance. Many endurance athletes find spelt to be invaluable during training.
• It has a higher percentage of Amino Acids
• It has a higher level of L-Tryptophan which in turn promotes and aids in the production of serotonin.

We call spelt the feel good grain. We hear those words time and time again from our customers. We just plain feel good when we eat your products. More than likely that's due to the fact that we don't use ingredients that are altered by anything other then Mother Nature itself.

Our products are all natural with no additives or preservatives. The delicate temperament of this ancient grain requires highly skilled bakers to produce a quality loaf of bread.

We bake only small batch breads (100 loaves per batch). Small batch baking yields the highest quality and consistency and if it's great taste you are after, you'll find abundance in every bite.
