Spelt also known as dinkel wheat or hulled wheat is a species of wheat cultivated since 5000 BCE. Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the medieval times. It now survives as a relict crop in central Europe and part of Spain and can also be found in major health foods stores and supermarkets. Spelt is sometimes considered a subspecies of wheat.
Spelt has never been hybridized, so it has retained many of its original characteristics from antiquity, including complex flavor and whole-grain nutrition. Spelt is unusual because it can be more easily digested than other forms of wheat, and some people with wheat intolerances may be able to tolerate spelt; however, spelt is not gluten free.
Spelt flour has a mild and sweet flavour with none of the earthy bitterness associated with whole wheat flour. It is also an hexaploid wheat, which means it has six sets of chromosomes. Spelt contains about 57.9 percent carbohydrates (excluding 9.2 percent fibre), 50.0 percent protein and 3.0 percent saturated fat, as well as dietary minerals and vitamins.*
