Spelt
Spelt is an ancient grain which is rich in manganese. It also contains niacin (also known as vitamin B3), copper, phosphorus, magnesium, protein, and fibre.
It can be suitable alternative for people who are allergic to wheat.
There is also less gluten in the ancient grain. The gluten in spelt is very fragile, which is possibly why it breaks down during the baking and cooling process, making it easier to digest. That may explain why some people who have mild gluten intolerance can take spelt. However, it is not suitable for those with gluten allergies or on a gluten-free diet.
