About Spelt flakes
Spelt flakes are flattened spelt kernels, usually produced by steaming or conditioning the grain and rolling it. They are thin, dry, and pale tan, with a mild cereal flavour and a texture that softens when cooked or soaked. They are commonly used in porridge, baked goods, and grain mixtures.
Flakes vary in thickness and may be made from whole or partly processed kernels, which affects their cooking time and texture. They are not the same as spelt flour or intact kernels: rolling changes the grain’s structure and makes the flakes quicker to hydrate. The product name alone may not establish whether the grain has been pearled or otherwise refined.
