SPELT BERRIES- 3lbs

Oberkulmer Spelt Berties great for cooking, milling or sprouting.  Sprouting process you can make at home:  A dry spelt berry is in a state of suspended animation, with all its growth components locked down. When introduced to water and the right temperature, the grain's embryo sends a signal to its outer layer, triggering the synthesis of powerful enzymes. This is the moment the magic happens. These enzymes get to work "pre-digesting" the grain, fundamentally changing its chemical makeup.  Enzymes at Work: Sprouting activates key enzymes like amylases, which break down complex starches into simpler, more easily digestible sugars. Proteases break down large proteins, including some of the gluten structure, into smaller, more manageable peptides. And most importantly, phytases are activated to break down phytic acid. Degradation of Anti-Nutrients: Phytic acid is a major "anti-nutrient" in grains. It binds to essential minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium, preventing your body fro
