What Is Pearled Spelt?

Pearled spelt is an ancient wholegrain that has had its outer bran layer gently removed to reduce cooking time while preserving its distinctive nutty flavour and satisfying texture.

The pearling process involves polishing the grain over rotating stones, producing a grain that cooks more quickly than whole spelt while remaining tender with a pleasantly chewy bite. This makes pearled spelt an excellent alternative to rice, barley and other grains in both traditional and contemporary recipes.

Its versatility and nutritional profile have made it increasingly popular with food manufacturers and consumers looking for wholesome grain ingredients.

An Ancient Grain with a Long History

Spelt is one of the world’s oldest cultivated cereals, with origins dating back more than 9,000 years to ancient Mesopotamia in the Middle East. It later became an important crop throughout Europe and archaeological evidence shows it was being cultivated in Britain as early as 2000 BCE.

Believed to have developed from a natural cross between emmer wheat and wild goat grass, spelt has remained remarkably unchanged over thousands of years. Unlike many modern wheat varieties, it has not undergone extensive hybridisation, helping preserve its distinctive flavour and traditional characteristics.
