Nutritious and versatile: Spelt sprouts are a fantastic addition to any healthy lifestyle, offering a nutty flavor and chewy texture packed with fiber, protein, and essential nutrients. As an ancient grain, spelt is easy to digest and provides a wholesome energy boost, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking natural, nutrient-rich foods.

How to Grow: To sprout spelt seeds, begin by rinsing them thoroughly and soaking them in cool water for 8–12 hours. Drain and rinse the seeds, then spread them evenly in a sprouting jar or tray. Rinse and drain twice daily, ensuring the seeds are kept moist but not submerged. Place the container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, and monitor the sprouts as they begin to grow.

Harvesting: Spelt sprouts are ready for harvest when they reach about ¼ to ½ inch in length, typically within 2–4 days. Look for plump, tender sprouts with a fresh aroma. Rinse the sprouts one final time before use, and enjoy them raw in salads, smoothies, or as a topping for soups and grain bowls. Their mild, nutty flavor pairs well with a variety of dishes, enhancing both taste and nutritional value.
