Other Information
Spelt (Triticum speltum) is an ancient relative of modern common wheat (Triticum aestivum) which was widely grown by the Romans. It has complex flavours and bakes a delicious wheat flavoured loaf.

Spelt is the forerunner of modern wheat with a unique nutty wheaty flavour. Think of the taste difference between a bland Golden Delicious Apple and a tasty Russet Apple. Then imagine an equivalent difference in flour and you will want to sample the intense wheaty flavour of Spelt.

Reference to Spelt can be traced back over many centuries even though it is not a familiar food to modern cooks. Try using it in any recipe calling for wholemeal flour and enjoy the great flavour of this ancient wheat variety.

Spelt contains more protein, fat and fibre than wheat. It also contains special carbohydrates called mucopolysaccharides, which play a decisive role in stimulating the body�s immune system, helping to increase its resistance to infection. Due to Spelt�s high water solubility the grain�s vital substances can, like liquid nutrients, be absorbed quickly by the body.
