What is spelt?
Spelt is ancient grain that has been grown by farmers for thousands of years. It belongs to the wheat family, but it is a completely different species than modern day wheat. Spelt has a very unique “nutty” flavor and is a highly nutritious alternative to traditional wheat grain. Some people who have allergic reactions to traditional wheat grain can tolerate spelt grain, however many people who have violent reactions to wheat will not be able to eat spelt grain. It is vitally important that you check with your doctor before trying spelt grain if you are allergic to wheat.
