Little Sword of the Velay

In a sustainable and reasoned approach to agriculture and to highlight this rustic cereal that has never undergone genetic modification, Sabarot set up a sector which supports more than 300 farmers partners in order to preserve their ancestral know-how and accompany them daily. The Little Sword of the Velay is cultivated by farmers in the Puy-en-Velay basin (High-Loire). It grows on the same soil as the Green Lentil of Puy A.O.P. : la volcanic land of the Velay high plateaus, at more than 800 meters above sea level, which gives the seed a firm, nutrient-rich envelope.

The Little Sword of Velay has a light taste of hazelnut that pleases both young and old. He is said to have "cheap": both crunchy and melty, he holds in his mouth. This consistency gives it real specificity and refinement, allowing it to stand out from other cereals.

It can ideally replace rice, wheat and barley in many hot and cold preparations. Find all our recipe ideas at Petit Spéutre du Velay here.
