Green spelt – trend competence at IREKS

Green spelt is ultimately spelt that is harvested early. As it leaves the field two to three weeks sooner, it is still green at this stage – but later in the process it loses its colour, which is why our unripe spelt products end up with an appealing golden-brown crumb. Green spelt is a special grain in many respects. Due to the early harvesting time and the consequently not yet fully developed ingredients such as starch or gluten proteins, it is not so easy to process and pure unripe spelt flour lacks baking capability. But at IREKS we know exactly how to handle it! The basis for this are our many years of experience with spelt and the use of our own kiln-drying installations. Traditional drying over a beech wood fire gives the unripe spelt its nutty, slightly smoky flavour.

However, we do not only use pure unripe spelt, but also refine it. Try, for example, our aromatic wholemeal unripe spelt sourdough – a real speciality that is second to none!
