What it is
Spelt is an ancient grain, a type of wheat that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It has a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. "Organic whole spelt" means the entire spelt grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, is used, and it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Why it's used
Spelt is used as a whole grain in various foods, similar to how modern wheat is used. It can be found in breads, pastas, cereals, and baked goods, adding a distinct flavor and texture. Manufacturers use it as a flour or as whole kernels.
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 like the FDA have not set specific upper intake limits for spelt itself. It is generally recognized as safe for consumption as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
Spelt is a type of wheat and therefore contains gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity should avoid spelt.
