Spelt is the anarchist of grains. It's tall & wavy & hard to harvest by machine, so it's disliked by big agri-business. It keeps its most nutritious parts in the kernel, so they're not removed during milling. An unsprouted grain is dormant, waiting for the right time to germinate. Its nutrients are locked up & well protected, making dormant grains harder to digest. When soaked in water, the grain wakes up & starts to sprout. Enzyme activity breaks down growth inhibitors, transforming & multiplying nutrients into their more easily digestible forms. The sprouted grain is slow dried to preserve its valuable nutrients. Then it's stone ground, creating this raw, wholegrain, sprouted flour, ready to use. Nutty sprouted whole spelt flour is hard to beat in banana bread. You can use sprouted spelt flour in any cake or pastry recipe as alternative to wholegrain wheat or spelt flour. Replace it like for like.
