Spelt special: the new nucleo farro reale bio

Spelt was once an essential ingredient in Mediterranean, Eastern and North African diets, especially in traditional peasant cooking. It is, in fact, the earliest cultivated cereal: it was one of the staple foods of Ancient Rome, where couples even married by exchanging a spelt flatbread, symbolizing their future life together.

Spelt is often considered a subspecies of common wheat, and indeed looks similar to wheat. However, spelt has a harder husk than wheat! This distinctive feature helps protect the nutrients inside and provides resistance to pollutants such as pesticides and even insect infestations.

Il Granaio delle Idee carefully studied this history and these sensory properties to produce the Nucleo® Farro Reale Bio breadmaking blend.

The 4 types of spelt harmoniously combined in this product bring out the very best qualities of this cereal: spelt flour, einkorn flour, spelt flakes and spelt sourdough. Four fully certified organic spelt ingredients that give finished products softness, crispness and aroma. Four elements that create a premium, protein-rich blend, enabling bakers to make aromatic bread with a delicately crisp crust while keeping sugar and fat content low.
