Amish Honey Puffed Spelt 10 lb

Grain products ship fresh directly off an Amish farm that does not provide electronic tracking numbers. Tracking numbers are available upon request if needed. Please allow 7-10 days for shipping.

Amish Honey Puffed Spelt is made with Amish-raised certified organic spelt, which has been puffed in an old-fashioned cannon puffer.

Organic puffed spelt makes a high-fiber, nourishing breakfast cereal.

Made from whole organic puffed spelt, honey, and coconut oil.  See the label for nutritional elements.

The puffer used is a much smaller version than the one used by the giant cereal companies.  The puffer used on the Stutzman farm only requires the grain to be heated and released at 175 PSI, versus the much higher PSI reported in the larger commercial puffers.

Still, puffed grains have been controversial because the extrusion process is believed to alter protein structure and form new compounds that may be harmful to humans. 

Puffed grains have been sold for years and continue to be sold without health warnings.

Consumers should complete their own research and make an informed purchase decision.

If you want to get outside the box (outside the expensive store cereal box routine) try our Amish homemade puffed spelt cereal for a healthy great breakfast alternative.

Store-bought cereals have become very expensive compared to the amount you get. Plus, the health benefits of eating cereal are questionable, as store-bought cereals are typically high in sugar, sodium, and chemical preservatives.

If you like wheat products but have allergies that prevent you or a family member from eating them, organic Spelt may be a good alternative.

Spelt is among the original grains known to man. Spelt contains more protein, fats, and crude fiber than wheat.  It can be substituted for almost all recipes that call for wheat. Spelt offers high water solubility, making it easier to digest.  Most people with wheat allergies can tolerate spelt.

Spelt offers an excellent source of Vitamin B2, Manganese, Niacin, Thiamine, and copper.

About Stutzman Farms

Cottage Craft Works is proud to provide such a high-quality supply of organic bulk foods. These foods are processed on an Amish family-run farm that has been growing organically for over 6 decades.

If you are looking for high-quality, certified organic grains to mill yourself or purchase milled flour, you have found the place to buy them in bulk.

Stutzman Family Farms has grown organic grains in the rolling hills of Holmes County, Ohio, for over 60 years. Long before organic certification existed, the Stutzman family had practiced organic soil management to achieve rich, fertile soil and high-quality grains, consistent with their Amish heritage.

Stutzman Farms is organically certified through the Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association (OEFFA). The Stutzman family processes a variety of natural organic grains.

Food processing of organic grains is completed at Stutzman Farms. The Ohio Department of Agriculture routinely inspects these facilities.

All grains and grain products processed on the Stutzman Farms are organically grown.

Stutzman Farms specializes in growing and harvesting Spelt, Wheat, Oats, Rye, and Corn on Ohio Amish Farms using the old-time planting and harvesting methods.

Grains such as Amaranth, Barley, Long Grain Brown Rice, Buckwheat, and Golden Flaxseed may not adapt well to the Ohio climate.  In this case, these grains may be grown in limited supply or supplemented by other organic growers from across the United States. These organic growers may include other Amish organic farmers and non-Amish traditional organic farmers.  

Grains are stored and processed right on the farm. Each order is hand-filled right from the farm storage facilities.

Despite their Amish back-to-basics heritage, the Stutzman family keeps up with the modern needs of health-conscious eaters.  They now offer sprouted-grain products and continue to improve their processing and machinery to provide the highest-quality products available at any health food store.

Orders are still processed manually (the old-fashioned way) and shipped directly from the Amish farm in Ohio. Please allow a few extra days for your order to arrive.

Because the Amish farm is not computerized, we do not have electronic tracking to automatically update your order status from processing to shipping. Orders are shipped using the old-style UPS book. Manual tracking numbers are kept at the farm in case we ever need to trace a package.

Our Amish grain products are very popular with many repeat customers.

Please note our 50 lb. shipping limit: UPS unfortunately does not calculate the second box when orders exceed 50 lbs.

For this reason, and to keep our overall prices low for now, we must limit orders to two 25-lb bags. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have explored all alternatives and will continue to do so. 

While consuming whole grains and grain products is generally recommended by healthcare professionals for all the known health and nutrition benefits, some people may develop adverse reactions leading to severe and life-threatening allergic reactions or complications within the digestive system or bowel tract.

People new to whole grains or a specific grain product should conduct their own research to understand how it is digested, its health benefits, and any risks, to make an informed purchasing decision. 

New grains and products should be used in small amounts until the person can determine how they will tolerate them.

People with known digestive tract or bowel complications should consult a physician before starting a new whole-grain-enriched diet. Some whole-grain products are water-insoluble and may bulk up, further obstructing an already partially obstructed bowel.
