The gluten found in spelt consists of a higher number of water-soluble proteins, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients. Additionally, its total protein content is 10% to 25% higher than that of common wheat varieties.

The nutrients in spelt are found not only in the husk but also in the grain. It is an excellent source of dietary fiber, iron, zinc, magnesium, vitamins B1, B2, and beneficial fatty acids.
