Spelt

Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years and is known for its nutty flavor and high nutritional value. Spelt is a type of wheat, but it is considered a distinct species with a different genetic composition. It is often referred to as a "heritage" grain due to its traditional cultivation methods and minimal genetic modification. Spelt is commonly used in baking, brewing, and as a whole grain in various dishes such as soups, salads, and grain bowls. It is valued for its rich protein content and its ability to produce soft, light flour, making it a favorite for artisanal breads and pasta.
