Spelt
The return of spelt grain to our awareness has happened quickly — one could say that spelt is a gift from the past to the present. This historic grain has been known in many ancient cultures for thousands of years. Spelt has been considered an excellent grain both nutritionally and because of its diverse uses.
Spelt is well suited to organic cultivation, adapting naturally to the ecological cycle of nature.
The natural, pleasant taste of spelt is appealing, making it a desirable food for everyone. Many pet and livestock owners have also noticed the positive effects of spelt after they began adding it to their animals’ diets.
Research also shows that spelt is rich in nutrients. It contains plenty of protein (13–18%), fiber (11%), and various trace elements and minerals.
Spelt is not suitable for people with celiac disease, but there is good experience with it among people who generally avoid traditional grains.
Finnish Organic Quinoa
Quinoa is originally a South American carbohydrate-rich food crop. It is not a grass like grains are, but it is used in cooking in the same way as grains. Quinoa has been cultivated in the Andes for about 5,000 years. It was the most important crop of the Incas. Before maize became widespread, it was also grown in North America. Quinoa has become very popular in Western countries, especially among those with celiac disease, because it is naturally gluten-free. Quinoa seeds cook in about 15 minutes. It is used like rice.
SunSpelt Quinoa is Finnish and differs from imported quinoa in that the grains are slightly smaller and become porridge-like more easily. Finnish quinoa is an absolutely ecological choice.
Quinoa contains all the essential amino acids humans need in the right proportions, which is rare among plant-based foods. Quinoa contains 14% high-quality protein, whose amino acid profile includes significant amounts of, for example, leucine, arginine, and tryptophan. Quinoa has more protein than rice or other grains, and it is rich in dietary fiber, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium.
