spelt

NounTransitive Verb

As a noun, this refers to a specific type of ancient grain. It is treated as an uncountable mass noun when referring to the crop or the flour, meaning it does not typically take a plural form in a culinary or agricultural context.

As a verb, this is the British English past tense and past participle of spell. In American English, spelled is the standard form for both past tense and past participle, making spelt primarily a regional variant. Using spelt as a verb in a US context may be perceived as an error or a deliberate stylistic choice to sound British.
