Spelt grain contains almost all nutrients and vitamins, necessary for wellbalanced human nutrition. But, most importantly, vitamins and other nutrients, as distinct from usual wheat, are distributed in all layers of grain rather than accumulating in spelt grain membrane, thus they are preserved after the milling process even in the finely ground,.
