Spelt, aka Dinkle Wheat, is a type of grain that is strongly related to wheat. Its scientific name is Triticum spelta.
This grain is also more water-soluble than wheat, which makes it easier for the body to digest. Spelt is an excellent source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber. It is particularly rich in iron, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, and niacin (vitamin B-3).
In fact, Spelt is considered a distinct type of wheat. Other types of wheat include Einkorn and Kamut Khorasan wheat.
Stoneground Spelt is sweeter and lighter than other whole wheat flours.
