Because sprouting transforms dormant seeds into a \"living food\", this additional step significantly increases its bioavailability of nutrients and activates enzymes that aid in digestion.\u003cbr\u003eSpelt (aka Dinkel in Germany and Farro in Italy) is considered one of the world's ancient grains and a distant cousin to the common wheat (\u003cem\u003eTriticum aestivum\u003c\/em\u003e) we are accustomed to today. It was one of the first grains used to make bread and recorded as an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to Medieval times.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQualities:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  although spelt has been cultivated since 5000 B.C., there has been very little breeding of the grain. It has retained wonderful characteristics that allow some wheat intolerant persons the ability to eat it. The gluten strength in spelt is much lower than wheat and therefore easier to digest.\u003cbr\u003eSpelt is highly water soluble and allows its nutrients to be easily absorbed by the body. The sprouting process additionally increases the natural Vitamin C content as well as B Vitamins such as B2, B5, B6, riboflavin, niacin and Vitamins E, A and K. It is also a superb source of fiber and minerals such as manganese, copper, and phosphorus. The total protein content ranges from 10 to 25% which is greater than most common varieties of commercial wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Om Organics","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":43033461194817,"sku":"WP14499-100g","price":2.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":43033461227585,"sku":"WP14499-kilo","price":20.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"One Pound","offer_id":43033461260353,"sku":"WP14499-One P","price":9.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/4773\/9713\/files\/52OYOMWJ4Q-spelt_stoneground__75137_600x.progressive_e15941f3-dfbe-4077-a035-13478d1e035b.jpg?v=1762473882","url":"https:\/\/luminatecowellness.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-sprouted-spelt-flour","provider":"Luminate Co Wellness Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
