What it is

Spelt is an ancient grain, a type of wheat that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is a whole grain with a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. Spelt is grown organically in many regions.

Why it's used

Spelt is used as a whole grain alternative to modern wheat in a variety of baked goods and pasta. Its nutty flavor and texture make it suitable for breads, crackers, and pasta dishes. Manufacturers may use it to appeal to consumers seeking ancient grains or alternative wheat varieties.

Health notes

Spelt is a source of dietary fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. Like other whole grains, it can contribute to a healthy diet. Regulatory bodies have not identified specific health concerns associated with the consumption of spelt at typical dietary levels. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for spelt are not typically listed as a food additive.

Allergen info

Spelt is a type of wheat and therefore contains gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA.
