Spelt - Two in One

Spelt is a comeback grain that is over 5000 years old and it is a very close relative to wheat. It has more fiber and protein than wheat. Spelt protein is easily digested by the body. It has earthy, nutty flavor and you can substitute spelt flour in recipes that call for wheat flour.
