Decorticated spelt from Fortore

Tips and curiosities of the tomolo

Spelt is called decorticated when it undergoes only a refining process, which preserves the cuticle that envelops and protects the grain, called glumetta or more simply bran.

Unlike pearl spelt, which removes most of the bran, hulled spelt is preferred for its high content of nutritious fibres and oils, which have an emollient and gut-regulating function.
