About Epautre

Epautre, commonly known as spelt, is an ancient grain with origins tracing back over 7,000 years to the Middle East and parts of Europe. A versatile member of the wheat family, spelt remains a staple in traditional cuisines, particularly in Germany, Italy, and France, where it is used in bread, pasta, and porridge. Nutritionally, spelt is prized for its high fiber content, aiding digestion, and its rich supply of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, including iron, magnesium, and zinc. Unlike refined grains, spelt offers complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy. It contains gluten, making it unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Its nutty flavor and hearty texture make it a popular choice among those seeking nutrient-dense alternatives to modern wheat. When consumed in moderation, spelt can be a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
