Spelt flakes
Spelt flakes are a minimally processed grain with no fermentation, making them one of the calmer options in the spelt family.
Rolled spelt flakes skip the fermentation and long processing steps that make other spelt products harder to tolerate.
-
Low-histamine processing — like oat flakes, spelt flakes are simply steamed and rolled, so they don't accumulate histamine during production
-
Better than spelt bread — spelt flakes tend to be significantly easier to handle than spelt sourdough or spelt bread, where fermentation raises histamine considerably
Using spelt flakes as a porridge base or in home baking is often a practical way to enjoy spelt without the fermentation-related concerns.
