Dinkel, also known as spelt, is an ancient grain that belongs to the wheat family. It has a nutty flavor and is often used in bread, pasta, and cereals. Dinkel is considered more nutritious than common wheat, as it contains higher levels of protein, fiber, and essential minerals. This grain is also valued for its health benefits, including improved digestion and lower gluten content, making it easier to digest for some people. Dinkel can be found in various forms, such as whole grains, flour, and flakes, and is popular in organic and health food markets.
