Spelt and the Low FODMAP Diet
Spelt is an ancient grain, specifically a variety of wheat, that has been cultivated since approximately 5000 BCE. It is known for its nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture. While spelt contains gluten, it is often considered easier to digest than modern wheat varieties due to its different protein composition and lower levels of gluten. Spelt can be used in a variety of culinary applications including baking, cooking, and as a whole grain substitute in many dishes.
