I'm ashamed to admit how quickly I finished it off.... I've got a post in the works - should be up by the end of the week. Long story short - both are granules, both are even substitutions! (fyi - I buy mine from Country Life Natural Foods) @Katie @ Kitchen Stewardship, I am not making that for a loooong time! I’m ashamed to admit how quickly I finished it off….

No fair. ;) Teach me something about sucanat/rapadura. Let's say I'm in the mood to be unhealthy and I only have white sugar in the house. Can I substitute that? Is s/r liquid or granules? I hate skipping recipes just because I don't have alternative sweeteners yet (someday I'll "Try It Tuesday" with those!). Thanks for linking into the October Fest carnival - this is the perfect example of a "healthier" dessert! Katie You’re going to show me this beautiful photo and tell me I CAN’T eat it for breakfast?

But spelt also contains more protein than wheat, and the protein in spelt is easier to digest. This means that some people who are allergic to wheat may be able to tolerate spelt. I've also heard that it contains less gluten and because it isn't as hybridized as our modern wheat, it's also easier to digest. We went on a completely gluten free diet for my husband last winter to see if it in fact was causing him issues. After 3 months he ate a little bit of wheat bread and suffered a bad headache and aches and pains for a week. Soon after I found out about spelt and thought we might give it a try. Much to our surprise, he did just fine with it! We now use spelt for our sandwich bread and some baked goods, though we try and limit our intake to just a couple times per week. So while none of us suffers from actual celiac, my husband does have a sensitivity to wheat and for me and my kids we eat mostly GF for precautionary reasons. I have 2 cousins w/ celiac, my sister is borderline (and SHOULD be eating GF!) and another sister has sensitivities as well. And the more I research, the more I believe we shouldn't be eating so many grains in our diet - especially unsoaked grains. @Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free, You’re right, spelt is an ancient form of wheat.

I love desserts with fruit, especially apples. Question about spelt - isn't it a species of wheat? I know it has gluten in it - I don't have celiac disease but I'm gluten-free. I don't have to worry about cross contamination. But I can't eat wheat in any form. I took a baking class and the instructor told me to use spelt, which is why I looked into it. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Everyone has their own diet for their own reasons and I love learning about why other people eat the way they do.

Being sick is NO fun. And it is amazingly yummy, I just wish I would have had my husband take the rest to work. It keeps calling my name. @Jodi, Hope you feel well soon! Being sick is NO fun.
