Historical Information

Spelt Triticum spelta is an ancient and distant relative of modern wheat grown about 9,000 years ago in the Fertile Crest area around Iraq, Iran, Jordan, and northern Greece. In Italy spelt is known as 'farro, farricello, Zea, and siligo' and in Germany as 'dinkle'. This ancient grain was the staple bread wheat of Europe and the Middle East until it was displaced by modern hybrid wheat. In Europe spelt is still a major food crop especially in Germany, Switzerland, and the Ardens region of Belgium. Spelt has a strong hull that clings to the grain and is difficult to clean with regular threshing. The hull, however, is a great asset protecting the grain from insects and pollutants, while retaining nutrients, moisture, and freshness during storage. Spelt requires very little nitrogen in the soil to grow well and naturally tend to choke out weeds. A perfect crop for organic agriculture.

The twelfth century healer St. Hildegard von Bingen wrote about spelt, "Spelt is the best of grains. It is rich and nourishing and milder than other grains. It produces a strong body and healthy blood for those who eat it and it makes the spirit of man light and cheerful." She believed spelt was "the easiest to digest of all grain."

Nutritional Facts

A significant quality of spelt is that it is allergy friendly. Although it does contain some gluten, it is different than that of modern wheat. The gluten in spelt is highly water soluble, making it easier to digest for people who have allergies to common wheat. Research has found that like kamut, spelt can be an excellent substitute for common wheat for most with allergies.
