Description
Spelt is an ancient grain, widely used in bread production in central Europe until the Middle Ages. However, this grain fell into disuse due to the widespread and extensive use of common wheat, genetically modified to produce more productive crops.
Health Benefits:
1. Facilitates food digestion
Spelt flour is highly digestible due to the high fiber content of the grains. When we feed our bodies fiber-rich foods, we automatically enable the digestive system to work in harmony, facilitating food digestion and nutrient absorption.
2. Protection of cardiovascular functions
As already mentioned, the high levels of fiber present in the composition of spelt grain flour play a fundamental role in the body, given that fiber intake accelerates metabolism.
This helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels. This occurs because fiber has the ability to interact with metabolic processes to the point of inhibiting the body's high absorption of cholesterol.
3. Promotes healthy skin, bones and blood vessels
The proteins present in spelt flour are excellent for promoting dermatological health. When these proteins are combined with phosphorus, their effects are even more comprehensive, directly influencing the development of blood vessels and muscles, strengthening bones, and aiding in the creation of dermatological tissues.
