Anyone know anything about Spelt? I've done a lot of research but there's not a lot of info out there. Spelt is a form of wheat (I think) that is USUALLY tolorable to people that can't tolerate the typical gluten and/or wheat products. Spelt does however contain gluten but little and a different type than wheat.
I also found that almost 90% (I think) of U.S. Spelt is grown in Ohio ... for all of you Ohioians!
I'd like to know where to buy seed (preferrably organic and definately open pollinated) and how and when to plant. I had heard that some is to be planted as winter wheat. Meaning plant in Sept. in zone 5??
I'd really like to try this on a small family type scale for my 3 year old son that has health problems. If anyone knows about these questions I'd greatly appreciate a reply.
Thanks
Mike
