Acquaintanced as the most ancient cereal of the world, the espelta is a variety of wheat cultivated for approximately 7.000 years. Probably this is the reason why it has been considered the origin of all the current varieties of wheat we can see nowadays.

In some zones, it is known as green wheat; in other places it is considered as a wild wheat due to its rustic aspect and intense flavor. In any case, in former Egypt and China, it was used like food and like ingredient to elaborate beer. Nowadays, its unstoppable re-discovery has been thanks to its nutritional properties and its own flavor; lightly sweet and very nice.

Spelt has a bigger level of proteins, minerals, vitamins and trace elements that the common wheat. Besides a good level of proteins, it contains all the eight essential amino acids. It is very interesting for vegetarian people. It is also very rich in minerals, specially in magnesium. It is the reason why spelt is known like anti-stress.

Also, it is a source of silicic acid that is very good for our both immune and circulatory systems. At the same time, it is one of the most necessary nutrients in our organism because it takes part in the composition of our fabrics and organs. It provides big quantities of vitamins of group B. This group of vitamins reduce migraines and increase our cardiovascular health. We can find also other vitamins as E and A.

Spelt contains lots of fibre; it is ideal when constiation, overweight or problems caused by lack of fibre. In addition to silicic acid, spelt provides iron and phosphorus. That way this cereal becomes a very good nourishing source.

It contains more proteins than wheat, including 8 essential amino acids. Its high quantity of tryptophan makes spelt specially positive for our corporal and mental health. This standard amino acid stimulates the production of serotonine. When we take spelt, we are reinforcing the resistance of our organism against infections, colitis or intestine diseases. On the other hand, it increases recovering capacity after physical efforts and improves our sleep.

All nutrients of spelt are extraordinary due to this plant has not suffered variations or genetic manipulations by human beings across the hybridization; this fact increases its level of acceptance by allergic people. Doctors and therapists who offer people diets depending on the different blood groups assure that their patients improve more rapidly after taking spelt instead of common wheat.

If we study the point of view of the ecological culture, spelt is the ideal wheat. It is so due to a pair of reasons mainly; on a hand because it has got a great resistance to both plagues and parasites. On the other hand, it survives under adverse climates and slightly propitious soils; it means that it grows under cold wheather and/or on dry soil.

All these properties have made that spelt is a cereal increasingly valued by nourishing products manufacturers and by consumers.

This fact is even rewarded when many doctors have observed that all their patients who stop taking food that contain common wheat and start consuming spelt instead suffer less sub-allergies and other symptoms as skin diseases, migraines or unspecific pains without explanation apparently.
