Ancient Grain Appreciation with Spelt Shortbread Cookies

14/12/2020

0 Comments

 
With the holidays fast approaching it seems like a good time to talk about ancient grains, Red Fife and Spelt wheat that we carry here at the store. We are fortunate to have local sources of both grains that are grown, harvested and milled nearby.

We get our Red Fife, from Ironwood Organics near Gananoque. Red Fife was originally grown between 1860 to the 1900s in Canada and thankfully farmers like Chris Wooding have the passion and patience to keep these seeds of the past growing. 

Sonset Farm in Inverary is our source for spelt flakes, kernels and the spelt flour featured in this week's recipe. Spelt produces baked goods with a lighter, more tender crumb than ones made with whole wheat flour and it can be substituted one to one for all-purpose or whole wheat in most recipes. 

Show ancient grains some love and start baking with them now. ​
