Notatki

Whole spelt kernels are delicious and versatile, behaving like farro-tasty, chewy, mild-flavored - in soups, stews, and side dishes. But I think spelt shines brightest as a flour. The flavor is rich and nutty and the baking qualities make it a good substitute in any recipe calling for whole wheat flour.
