Spelled is one of the oldest known cereals in history, compared to other cereals, spelled has a lower caloric intake, in fact it provides only 335 Kcal per 100 grams.
Spelled flour is rich in proteins (15%), B vitamins and is important as it also contains methionine, an essential amino acid. The nutritional value of this flour is high.
A diet based on products derived from spelled is particularly suitable for those who do not digest bread, pasta or other products made from hard or soft wheat, but not for celiacs, as it contains gluten.
Spelled flour is mainly used for the production of pasta and bread. It can be used as a substitute for wheat flour to give more flavor and aroma to bread and baked goods that we intend to cook.
To look for the characteristics and the particular flavor of spelled, it is necessary to take wholemeal flours, otherwise what makes this seed characteristic is lost.
