Organic Spelt Soba Noodles
What it is
These are thin, round noodles made from organic spelt flour and buckwheat flour. They are a type of soba noodle, traditionally Japanese. The combination of spelt and buckwheat gives them a distinct flavor and texture. They are a good pantry staple for quick meals. The noodles are dried and packaged for convenience. They offer a wholesome alternative to common wheat pasta.
How people cook with it
Spelt soba noodles can be used in a variety of hot and cold dishes. They absorb flavors well and are versatile in the kitchen.
- In savory noodle bowls
- As a base for stir-fries
- In cold noodle salads
- Added to brothy soups
To prepare, bring a pot of unsalted water to a rolling boil. Add the spelt soba noodles and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your stove. Once cooked to your desired tenderness, drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander. For cold dishes, rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. For hot dishes, they can be added directly to sauces or broths.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional wheat pasta, spelt soba noodles have a nuttier, earthier flavor profile due to the buckwheat content. Their texture is also slightly chewier and less uniform than typical durum wheat pasta. This difference comes from the flours used and the extrusion process.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion of the dried noodles in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use.
