family\u00a0<\/strong>that is cultivated mainly in hilly and mountain areas. In Italy, it is mostly found in some regions of the centre-north, such as Tuscany, Umbria, Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont, but it is also found in other areas of the Mediterranean and in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. A relatively modest production that, after a period of decline due to the arrival of other grains such as wheat and corn, has now become popular again.<\/p>\n<p>The cultivation of spelt follows a\u00a0<strong>seasonal cycle<\/strong>, with sowing in autumn and harvesting usually between June and July. The most used part of the plant is\u00a0<strong>the kernel<\/strong>, both consumed as a grain and used to prepare flour, pasta, bread and other bakery products. The\u00a0<strong>spelt husk<\/strong>, or the outer shell of the grain, is rich in fibre and nutrients but has a hard and woody texture: it is often used as a powdered food supplement, to be added to shakes, smoothies or other preparations rather than being consumed in raw form. Nutritious and delicate food,\u00a0<strong>spelt sprouts<\/strong>\u00a0are the first stages of growth of the spelt grain: highly nutritious and full of enzymes, vitamins and minerals, they are considered a superfood for their beneficial properties. Eaten cooked or raw, they are often used to prepare salads or as a garnish for main dishes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e453b15 dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e453b15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pedon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tortino-di-farro-1200x624-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-14809\" alt=\"tortino-di-farro-1200x624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pedon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tortino-di-farro-1200x624-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pedon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tortino-di-farro-1200x624-1-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pedon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tortino-di-farro-1200x624-1-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pedon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tortino-di-farro-1200x624-1-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15167f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"15167f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a71cd1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a71cd1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"proprieta\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Spelt properties  <sup>[1]<\/sup><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d53f296 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d53f296\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Spelt is a\u00a0<strong>very healthy grain<\/strong>, with properties that tend to differ depending on its variety.
