" It's a high energy, whole grain food loaded with B vitamins, potassium, iron,

complex carbohydrates and protein, is the ideal food for the serious athlete as

well as consumers interested in eating healthy foods. As we learn more about

the science of nutrition more and more people choose spelt instead of

wheat.... "

The calories vary depending upon the grade -- how it's milled: it comes in
