Spelt flour is a food with very beneficial nutritional properties for the body: it is low in fat, contains little sugar and its levels of protein and fiber are the best we find in the most common flours. Its high amount of protein, compared to other cereals, and its higher biological quality makes it a high quality vegetable protein and more easily digestible than wheat protein. In fact, there are people who are intolerant to wheat protein and tolerate spelt well. In addition to this, its glycemic index is very low, which makes it a flour of choice in diabetics. This flour falls into the group of flours more bakable, so it can be used alone or mixed with other flours more bakable to make dough (such as for pies, for example) and also for baking recipes, breads, sauces, porridges ... etc..
