Anchient Grain with Modern day appeal
Not to be confused with wheat or oats, spelt is a member of the same grain family but is an entirely different species. It is one of the original seven grains mentioned in the Bible. This 9000 year old grain originated in the Fertile Crescent and over the centuries found its way throughout Europe where
it remained a very popular grain for hundreds of years. To Germans it is their
beloved "Dinkel" and is now found in a wide variety of foods and
beverages from bread to beer. To Italians it is called "Farro" and is
found in gourmet soups, pizza crusts, breads and cakes.
Delicate Kernel Is The Secret
The secret to spelt's mild flavor and
superior performance can be attributed to the tough outer hull protecting the
spelt kernel. Unlike common wheat which loses its hull when harvested, spelt
kernels have to be transported to a custom processing center to dehull and
clean the grain. It is believed that the impervious outer hull allows for the
development of a more delicate, water soluble kernel. It also protects the
grain from pollutants and insects and enhances the retention of the nutrients
in the kernel and improves freshness.
Nutrition Value
Spelt's uniqueness is also derived from
its genetic makeup and nutrition profile. Spelt has high water solubility, so
the nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. Spelt contains special
carbohydrates which are an important factor in blood clotting and stimulating
the body's immune system. It is also a superb fiber resource and has large
amounts of B-complex vitamins. Total protein content is from 10 to 25% greater
than the common varieties of commercial wheat.
We feel confident that you too will praise the merits of
spelt once you have tried our products.
