What it is
This is a package of organic spelt udon pasta. Udon is a thick noodle originating from Japan. This version is made from spelt, an ancient grain. The pasta is dried and ready for cooking.

How people cook with it
This udon pasta can be a base for many dishes. It absorbs flavors well and is satisfying in both hot and cold preparations.
- In hot noodle soups
- Tossed with stir-fried vegetables
- Chilled with a dipping sauce
- As a side dish
To prepare, bring a large pot of unsalted water to a rolling boil. Add the spelt udon noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still have a slight chew. Drain the noodles thoroughly. You can then rinse them with cold water if you plan to use them in a cold dish or stir-fry. For hot soups, add them directly to your broth after draining.
How it differs from similar foods
