    Spelt is not gluten free and speaking from personal experience as a Celiac ... Consuming Spelt is a monumentally painful experience.

    Spelt, also known as dinkel wheat, or hulled wheat, is a hexaploid species of wheat. Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times; it now survives as a relict crop in Central Europe and northern Spain and has found a new market as a health food. Spelt is sometimes considered a subspecies of the closely related species common wheat (T. aestivum), in which case its botanical name is considered to be Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta.
