Spelt flour type 680 1000g - VIVIO

Spelt flour is made from spelt wheat. It is a type of grass. Some classify this plant as a subspecies of common wheat. What does spelt look like? It grows 90 to 170 cm tall, has elongated, narrow ears, stiff straw, and a well-developed root system. Unripe grains are blue-green. Mature grains are straw-yellow or brown. Spelt has been known in Europe since the 2nd century BC and was one of the most popular grains during the Roman Empire. Initially cultivated in Poland, it was gradually replaced by bread grains that produced higher yields and made the grain easier to process. Currently, there is increased interest in this grain on organic farms. Its nutritional and health value is incomparably higher than that of ordinary wheat. However, this depends on many factors, such as the growing area, weather conditions, harvesting technique, and fertilization method.
According to scientists, regular consumption of spelt products can have a positive impact on our health. Compared to regular wheat flour, this flour is characterized by a higher content of fats (oleic acid and phytosterols), vitamins (including A, PP, B6, and D), and micro- and macroelements (potassium, magnesium, iron, and zinc). Spelt protein is significantly more digestible than that found in wheat flour.
Spelt has a positive effect on the circulatory system. It contains phytosterols and fiber, which contribute to lowering cholesterol levels. Scientific studies also indicate spelt's ability to lower blood sugar levels. The grain is also said to have a positive effect on the nervous system, aiding concentration, strengthening memory and the sense organs, and slowing the aging process. Spelt also contains a compound containing rhodanoid nave. According to scientists, this substance acts as a natural antibiotic and is found in blood, saliva, and breast milk. It has strengthening properties, supports the immune system, and can prevent inflammation.
