Description

Spelt Coffee Substitute – Triticum spelta L. – Roasted Spelt Powder

What is Spelt Coffee Substitute?

Spelt Coffee Substitute from Herba Organica is a roasted, ground cereal beverage made from 100% spelt grain (Triticum spelta L.). The whole grains are gently roasted and finely milled to produce a dark, aromatic powder that can be prepared in the same way as traditional coffee-style drinks — without using coffee beans.

This product contains only one ingredient: roasted spelt. No additives, flavourings, fillers, or preservatives are used. The roasting process develops the characteristic deep colour and toasted cereal character that makes spelt a popular base for grain-based coffee substitutes.

Spelt Coffee Substitute offers a simple, traditional alternative for those who enjoy warm roasted beverages and wish to explore non-coffee options prepared in a similar way.

Spelt in European Food Tradition

Spelt is one of the oldest cultivated grains in Europe, with a long history in Central and Western European agriculture. Traditionally grown for bread, porridge, and flour, spelt was also used in roasted form as a warm beverage, particularly during periods when coffee was scarce, expensive, or unavailable.

Roasted grains such as spelt, barley, rye, and chicory were commonly prepared as everyday household drinks. The grains were roasted, ground, and brewed with hot water to create dark, warming beverages consumed throughout the day.

Spelt-based coffee substitutes were especially common in rural households and during times of trade disruption. These preparations became part of everyday food culture and remain popular today as a traditional cereal-based beverage option.

Ingredients

100% roasted spelt (Triticum spelta L.), finely ground and completely natural, with no additives, preservatives, or artificial colours and flavours.

Its mild, toasted character makes it ideal for regular consumption, whether as a morning beverage, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a relaxing warm drink in the evening.

How to Prepare Spelt Coffee Substitute

Spelt Coffee-Style Drink

Ingredients:
• 1–2 teaspoons Spelt Coffee Substitute
• 200–250 ml hot water

Preparation:
Place the powder in a cup, filter, or press. Pour over hot water, stir, and allow to steep for 5–15 minutes. Strain or filter if required. Adjust the amount to taste. Serve plain or with milk or plant-based alternatives if desired.

Spelt Hot Brew Method

Ingredients:
• 2 teaspoons Spelt Coffee Substitute
• 200 ml water or milk (dairy or plant-based)

Preparation:

Combine the spelt powder with water or milk in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, allow to sit for 1–2 minutes, then strain into a cup and serve warm. This method produces a richer, deeper roasted flavour and a slightly fuller-bodied beverage, ideal for those who prefer a more robust spelt coffee experience.

Alternative Preparation Ideas

• Brew in a French press for a fuller-bodied drink.

• Use in espresso-style machines with appropriate filters.

• Mix with chicory root, roasted barley, or roasted dandelion root for custom blends.

• Serve hot or allow to cool and serve over ice.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong odours. After opening, keep tightly sealed to preserve freshness and aroma.
