Ardent Mills Cracked Spelt
Ardent Mills Cracked Spelt is a popular heirloom wheat that has a sweet, nutty flavor and can replace whole wheat flour in recipes. Since spelt is a whole grain and milled with the bran intact, it is more nutrient-rich than all-purpose flour, boasting more fiber, B vitamins, proteins, and minerals. Its unique, chewy texture makes it perfect as an alternative to rice or oatmeal, and it can be added to salads or enjoyed as a side dish. It is especially effective in diet-conscious desserts like apple crisp or tarts, where a crumbly finish is desired.Recommended uses: - Pizza- Pasta- Bagels- Breads- Waffles- Crackers- Muffins- Cookies
