Organic Einkorn Spelled Semolina - 400gr

General informations Single spelled, Triticum monococcum, also known as small spelled, is the first cereal to have been domesticated by man around 7500 BC. It is a medium sized plant. It has a low yield, but is suitable for poor and dry soils. Due to the low yield, the cultivation of spelled has gradually decreased over the centuries. In fact, it has been supplanted by the common soft wheat and durum wheat, which descend respectively from large and medium spelled. Its vegetative cycle is very long and develops over eleven months. It is very rustic and has a marked adaptability to different cultural environments. Furthermore, it has excellent natural resistance to diseases and requires low levels of fertilization. Overall, therefore, it has a low environmental impact and is an excellent grain for organic crops Nutritional values Semolina is a product that belongs to the III fundamental group of foods; in the diet, it acts as a nutritional source of starch (therefore of energy), fibers and certain specific vitamins and minerals. Semolina has a high energy content but, being a dry food, it absorbs a significant amount of water during cooking, which increases both its mass and volume. The calories come above all from the high percentage of complex carbohydrates, while simple sugars are of little importance; followed by a modest amount of protein (medium biological value) and an insignificant amount of fat. The fibers are present in excellent quantities and cholesterol is absent. With regard to mineral salts, there are good concentrations of phosphoropotassium; the iron is also discreet (albeit not very bioavailable). As far as vitamins are concerned, the B1PP values are appreciable. Semolina is a food that lends itself to most diets; due to the high carbohydrate content it must be taken in adequate quantities by those suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertriglyceridemia. Due to the high calorie content, the portion of semolina needs to be adjusted even in the case of overweight. Wheat semolina contains gluten and is not suitable for the celiac diet. It is lactose-free and is accepted by the vegan philosophy. Monococcus spelled semolina can be successfully used in feeding children, thanks to its characteristic flavor and the richness of its nutrients.
