It is considered the spelt par excellence and as the name suggests, its ears usually contain two grains. The spelt plant has a remarkable capacity for adaptation and resistance: it adapts easily to poor and hilly soils, it does not suffer from the cold and resists humidity excesses well. It does not have particular fertilization and weeding requirements and, therefore, adheres perfectly to an organic cultivation regime.

Nutritional properties
Among the most important and beneficial substances contained in spelt are fibres, B vitamins and numerous minerals, including sodium, calcium and magnesium. Group B vitamins play a decisive role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, while a diet rich in insoluble fibers promotes and stimulates digestive processes and is highly effective against the formation of acids and gallstones. Another important feature of fibers is that they are able to avoid glycemic swings in diabetic subjects, and for this very reason specialists recommend including spelled in their diet. Moreover, due to the very low calorie intake and thanks to the fact that it promotes a rapid sense of satiety, this cereal is also highly recommended for those who want to lose weight. Spelled has a high content of selenium and phytic acid, very important elements for preventing aging of the skin and cells, even the most serious degeneration that causes some tumors (for example colon, breast and prostate).
