What it is

Organic whole grain spelt is an ancient cereal grain, a type of wheat. It is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and "whole grain" means the entire kernel—bran, germ, and endosperm—is used.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use spelt in foods like breads, pasta, and flours for its distinct nutty flavor, chewy texture, and nutritional benefits. It provides dietary fiber and various nutrients to products.

Health notes

Spelt is a whole grain food ingredient, not a food additive, and is generally recognized as safe for consumption. As a whole grain, it contributes dietary fiber and nutrients to the diet. However, spelt contains gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Allergen info

Spelt is a type of wheat and is one of the nine major FDA allergens. It contains gluten.
