About Spelt
Spelt is in fact a distant cousin of the modern wheat we have today.
Originally abandoned for more modern varieties because of its tough husk, which made it more difficult to process than modern wheat varieties. It is now understood that the husk protects the kernel from pests & pollutants. With the husk removed just before milling, the kernel is protected & nutrients are retained.
Modern wheat on the other hand has been altered considerably over time to assist easy growing/harvesting, increase gluten content & maximise yield etc
Among its many benefits Spelt is also higher in protein than wheat, is naturally high in fibre & a delicious alternative for many with wheat intolerances.
