Spelt : comments [S. Worthen

I have been haunted by spelt this week! From first reading about in in Detox Diet (the vegan aftermath of Supersize Me) which praised spelt as a wunder-cleansing grain second only to quinoa, I then had 2 meals at Charlton House that revolved around spelt sandwiches and spelt hors d'oeuvres.

It's a fad!

In 1976, one U.S. article called the grain "obscure". One company claims to have reintroduced it to the commercial market in 1987. I'm willing to believe this all reflects the U.S. market situation, but I suspect it doesn't say much about worldwide spelt farming frequencies.

I'll see if my local grocery store carries something enspelted. I need to try it now!

P.S. I've never knowingly eaten spelt. How was it?

It was buried too far in the hors d'oeuvre to tell, but the sandwich I had with spelt bread was moister and denser than normal wheat or white bread. Nothing like gluten free bread, which I find repulsive. I liked the spelt bread.

Spelt contains gluten. Gluten free bread has changed a great deal in the seven years I've been eating it. I use an ersatz rye bread, and one of the commercial corn breads.
