Spelt is an ancient cereal grain that is higher in protein than regular wheat. When toasted, its mellow nutty flavor morphs into something reminiscent of coconut. Which makes it a perfect base for a tropical granola full of dried mango, papaya, and pineapple.
What to buy: Rolled spelt flakes, not to be confused with spelt berries, can be found at health food stores, gourmet grocery stores, or online.
