Properties and benefits of spelled bread
Spelled bread is rich in B vitamins and proteins. spelled bread has an amino acid deficient in other types of cereals, methionine.
This amino acid is involved in the synthesis of some phospholipids such as carnitine and cysteine. Spelled bread is suitable for those with digestive difficulties but not for celiacs as it has gluten. It contains important amounts of proteins and vitamins of group B.
Spelled-based products are particularly suitable for those who have digestive disorders and are intolerant to durum wheat derivatives.

Production of spelled bread
Spelled bread is made from spelled flour. Spelled, one of the oldest cereals known throughout history, it is a resistant wheat of the Graminaceae family that grows on poor soils, even with a harsh climate, unlike other more delicate cereals.
Spelled flour is the product obtained by grinding the kernels of Triticum spelta (or more spelled), Triticum dicoccum (spelled proper, or medium spelled) or Triticum monococcum (or small spelled).
Most spelled flours are made from greater spelled, which is less expensive and particularly versatile. Spelled, being precisely so resistant, does not require weeding or fertilization based on non-natural products, therefore it is generally a cereal that is generally "clean" of chemical substances.
