Spelt grain is the ultimate food for energy. I discovered it while researching the Blood Type Diet as a means to help my husband eliminate frequent migraine headaches and to help me feel more energy and less fatigue.
In brief, Spelt is easily digested by all of the four blood types (O, A, B and AB). My husband is a Type O (carnivore) and I am a type A (vegetarian.) It wasn’t easy finding something we could both enjoy. For example, another highly beneficial grain is amaranth which he detests and can sniff out no matter how minute a serving I try to include!
Without further ado, here’s the recipe. I purchase the flour in 25lb bags from Purity Foods. This is also an economical addition to your diet. Get ready to enjoy many, many loaves and lots of waffles, cakes and cookies too!
