Grünkern
Grünkern (, 'green kernel') is spelt that has been harvested when half ripe and then artificially dried. ''Grünkern'' is traditionally produced in the Bauland region in the north-east of Baden-Württemberg (Germany). In response to periods of adverse weather, which destroyed crops, spelt was harvested before it was completely ripe, during the so-called 'dough-ripe phase', at about 50% moisture content. Because the dried kernels exhibited a pleasing flavor when cooked in water, it became traditional to harvest a portion of the spelt crop as grünkern. As a winter crop, the spelt meant for Grünkern would be harvested at the end of July and subsequently dehydrated, traditionally over a beechwood fire, or in modern times, in heated-air ovens. This preserves the grünkern (by reducing moisture content to 13%) and endows it with its typical taste and aroma. Before further processing, Grünkern must be husked or milled. Grünkern husk has been used as a cattle feed, or as the fille ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
