\"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.
Many have commented that foods made from spelt have a superior ability to satisfy hunger\"

What is Spelt?
SOURCE: Purity Foods
More Than Superior Taste
Spelt is more than just a nutritious product. The whole grain flour is the perfect answer for those people who want to eat good, tasty whole grain products. Organic, unbleached spelt flour is the same grain with most of the bran (fiber) removed, and nothing added.
Ancient Grain With Modern Day Appeal
Not to be confused with oats or wheat, 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.
