Traditionally made using centuries old techniques in the heart of Italy's top organic agricultural region of Emilia Romagna. Spelt is the ideal ingredient for making healthy and tasty dishes. Rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, and in mineral salts, very high in protein and low in gluten, it is at the heart of ancient natural therapies.

Spelt is an ancient grain related to wheat that was used as a staple food in early Europe. It is more nutritious than wheat, but still contains gluten (a protein found in wheat.) Compared to wheat though, it is more easily digestible, rich in complex carbohydrates and fibre, and has a higher protein content than wheat. According to the Wheat Allergy information service, some people with wheat intolerance can tolerate spelt, but it is best avoided during the initial stages of wheat free diet. Spelt is useful for diabetics or dieters as it is easily digested and has a low glycaemic index.
