Alpine Spelt & Barley

Spelt wheat (ancient grain) dates back to 1700 BC in central Europe. In the late 1800s this was when the baking wheat started to take over from spelt wheat. It wasnt until the 20th Century that spelt was to be reintroduced and make a comeback. Barley (Ancient grain) dates back to 8000 BC and was one of the first domestic crops cultivated. Barley is very unique as it contains eight essential amino acids. By blending these two amazing grains together as well as our sour rye culture you are getting an historically healthy combination.
