Spelt (spelta) — this is a type of wheat, also known as two-row wheat.\n\nSpelt belongs to the same genus as the more common types of wheat — soft wheat and hard wheat.\n\nSpelt is a semi-wild ancestor of modern wheat. Spelt grains are larger than those of wheat, and their hull is tougher. Spelt contains more protein and fiber than ordinary wheat, as well as vitamins and minerals.\n\nSpelt can be used to prepare porridge, soups, side dishes, and baking. However, spelt requires a longer cooking time than ordinary wheat.\n\nNutritional value per 100 g of product:\n\n* Calories — 338 kcal.\n* Protein — 15.5 g.\n* Fat — 2.4 g.\n* Carbohydrates — 61.2 g.\n\nVitamins and minerals (per 100 g of product):\n\n* Vitamin B1 — 0.34 mg.\n* Vitamin B2 — 0.12 mg.\n* Vitamin B6 — 0.56 mg.\n* Folic acid — 23 µg.\n* Vitamin E — 0.79 mg.\n* Vitamin K — 1.9 µg.\n* Calcium — 22 mg.\n* Iron — 3.58 mg.\n* Magnesium — 139 mg.\n* Phosphorus — 370 mg.\n* Zinc — 2.48 mg.\n\nNote!
