What it is
Bioland UrDinkel Körner are whole, unprocessed grains of ancient spelt, a heritage wheat variety. These grains are carefully cultivated by Bioland, an association of organic farmers committed to ecological agriculture. The whole grains retain all of their natural components, including the bran and germ, offering a robust and earthy flavor profile. They are a staple for those seeking traditional and wholesome ingredients in their cooking.

To cook the UrDinkel Körner, they are typically rinsed thoroughly under cold water. Then, they are simmered in water or broth until tender. The exact cooking time can vary, but generally, they require a longer cooking period than refined grains.
