Often better tolerated by those who are intolerant to wheat, Spelt is an ancient form of wheat, which is naturally high in fibre and gentle on the digestive system due to its unique gluten structure. With many health benefits to be gained from eating Spelt we are being urged to include this grain in our diets as it has been proven to help contribute towards a healthy body and in particular a healthy bowel, actively helping to protect against bowel cancer.
