Whole Dinkel / Spelt Grain

Whole Dinkel / Spelt Grain

Details  

Whole spelt (or dinkel) grains are the intact kernels of the ancient spelt variety, a close relative of wheat. These grains retain their outer bran, germ, and endosperm, making them highly nutritious and rich in fibre, protein, vitamins (such as B-complex), and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. Spelt grains have a slightly nutty, sweet flavour and a chewy texture when cooked.

They are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, soups, and stews, or as a hearty alternative to rice or quinoa. Spelt grains can also be soaked and sprouted for added nutritional benefits or ground into flour for baking breads, pastries, and pasta. Their robust flavour and nutritional profile make them a popular choice in both traditional and modern recipes.

Details   Whole wheat grains are the unrefined, unprocessed, intact kernels of wheat that contain all three parts of the grain: the bran (outer layer), germ (nutrient-rich core), and endosperm (starchy interior). This makes whole wheat grains a highly nutritious option, rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

They are commonly used in a variety of products, including whole wheat flour, which is a staple for baking breads, muffins, and other baked goods. Whole wheat grains can also be cooked whole, similar to rice or quinoa, to create a hearty side dish or used in salads, soups, and grain bowls.

They can be milled into flour or used in their whole form for a chewy texture and a nutty, slightly earthy flavour. Whole wheat grains are prized for their health benefits, particularly in promoting digestive health and providing sustained energy.

Whole barley grains are the unprocessed form of barley, with the outer husk removed but retaining the bran, germ, and endosperm. These grains have a chewy texture and a mild, nutty flavor. They are highly nutritious, rich in fiber, vitamins (particularly B-vitamins), minerals (such as magnesium and iron), and antioxidants.

Barley can also be sprouted to create barley grass for juices and smoothies. Additionally, whole barley is often used as a side dish or mixed into casseroles, and it serves as a key ingredient in certain breakfast cereals. As a whole grain, it is an excellent choice for those looking to incorporate more fibre and nutrients into their diet.

Pearl Barley

Pearl Barley

Details   Pearl barley is a type of barley grain that has been polished to remove its outer husk and bran layer, resulting in smooth, ivory-coloured grains. This processing makes pearl barley quicker to cook and gives it a tender texture with a mild, slightly nutty flavour.

Versatile and nutritious, pearl barley is commonly used in soups, stews, and casseroles, where it absorbs flavours and adds heartiness. It can also be used as a base for salads, risottos, or as a substitute for rice in various dishes. Although it is less fibrous than hulled barley due to the removal of the bran, pearl barley is still a good source of fibre, vitamins, and minerals, making it a healthy addition to meals.
