Spelt, an ancient grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity as consumers increasingly seek healthier and more sustainable food options. Known for its nutty flavor and high nutritional value, spelt is rich in fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals, making it a popular alternative to modern wheat. Spelt is often used in bread, pasta, cereals, and baked goods, appealing to consumers who are looking for whole grain, minimally processed ingredients.

Spelt`s versatility in both traditional and innovative food products has expanded its appeal, with many food companies incorporating spelt into gluten-free and plant-based product lines.
