Spelt, also known as dinkel wheat or hulled wheat, is a species of wheat cultivated since approximately 5000 BC. The Latin name is “Triticum spelta”.
It was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to Medieval times and is known to process a number of health benefits. In recent years, spelt gained widespread popularity as a wheat substitute for making artisan breads, pasta, cereals, and beer!
