About Spelt roll

Spelt rolls are bakery items made from spelt flour, derived from an ancient grain closely related to modern wheat that dates back thousands of years. Spelt originates from the Near East but gained popularity in European cuisines, especially German and Italian baked goods. Spelt flour has a nutty flavor and is often considered a healthier alternative to refined wheat flour. Nutritionally, spelt is rich in fiber, protein, manganese, and B vitamins, offering more nutrients compared to white flour products. Spelt rolls usually have a slightly dense texture and are often used as an option for sandwiches or as a side with meals.
