We have just discovered these toasted and malted spelt flakes. They are not only deliciously light, crunchy and nutty, they’re also high in fibre. A 7,000 year old, distant cousin of modern wheat,
spelt has a fragile gluten structure that is more water soluble than modern wheat making it easier to digest. Ideal for anyone wishing to eat less wheat.
With a delicious blend of dates, sultanas, chilean flame raisins, juicy pineapple, pumpkin seeds, roasted hazelnuts and almonds.
Simple, but then the best things in life usually are.
Contains gluten, nuts, spelt, barley, oats and sulphur dioxide. May contain traces of sesame seeds and wheat.

good to know
:-) Vegetarian Society approved
:-) High in fibre
:-) Contains spelt, a distant cousin of modern wheat
:-) Spelt’s fragile gluten structure makes it more water
soluble and therefore easier to digest than modern wheat
handy to know
:-) In biblical times spelt was regarded as the
‘’Mother Grain’’.
:-) Spelt grains have an extra strong shell which helps retain nutrients.
:-) Spelt is no longer commonly used because the yields are lower and the tough shell is more difficult to work with than modern wheat varieties. However, we don't mind a bit of hard work, and prefer less intensive farming wherever possible, so welcome back spelt.
