Spelt is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for 7,000 years and used as food for over 2,500 years. Its profile has changed very little during this time.
It is making a comeback in handmade breads, in flakes, and is increasingly used as part of animal feed.

The varietal parameters may differ from those indicated here when the testing circumstances differ from quondam
Recommended early sowing rate (mid-September): 180-200 kg of seed or 200-250 grains/m²
Recommended sowing rate for late sowing (beginning of October): 200-220 kg of seed or 250-300 grains/m²
Sowing depth: 4-5 cm. Germination of spelt grains with hulls requires more water than grains of common wheat (Triticum aestivum)
