Spelt, used in this spelt bircher muesli recipe, has recently becoming more popular, but in fact, it’s one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world and has been eaten for the past 8,000 years. It contains plenty of nutrients, including complex carbohydrates, sugar, soluble and insoluble fibre, sodium, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids. Plus, it’s high in vitamin B2, niacin, manganese, magnesium, thiamine and copper. So it’s an all-round breakfast star!
Ingredients (serves 2)
250g Merchant Gourmet cooked spelt
50g flaked almonds (with some retained for decoration)
50g sultanas
2tsp sunflower seeds
100ml apple juice ½ apple, grated
100g thick Greek yoghurt
1tsp (heaped) acai powder
Raspberries and honey to serve
Method
Really simple! Just mix all the ingredients together and serve. It is best after a few hours of sitting in a fridge, but if you don’t have time just mix and go.
