Rude Health Puffed Spelt, 179 g

Product Information

For most people eating a well-balanced diet, this is not a problem. But it can be a concern for vegetarians and vegans, who rely on plants exclusively for these and other essential minerals. The positive health effects provided the nuts is outweighed by the large amounts of sugar and fat included in the recipe. It’s not surprising that Frosties are very high in sugar, providing 37g of the white stuff per 100g serving of the cereal. They’re also extremely low in fibre, averaging just 2g per 100g. Frosties are the lowest-fibre cereal in this cereal healthiness ranking article! Genetic evidence shows that spelt wheat can also arise as the result of the hybridisation of bread wheat and emmer wheat, although only at some date following the initial Aegilops–tetraploid wheat hybridisation. The much later appearance of spelt in Europe might thus be the result of a later, second, hybridisation between emmer and bread wheat. Recent DNA evidence supports an independent origin for European spelt through this hybridisation. [3] [4] Whether spelt has two separate origins in Asia and Europe, or single origin in the Near East, is currently unresolved.

It’s estimated that about 1.4% of people worldwide have celiac disease. A similar number of people are thought to have non-celiac gluten sensitivity ( 19, 25). This breakfast cereal contains only one ingredient: wholegrain spelt. Spelt is relatively uncommon in the UK. It’s often confined to artisanal breads and cereals, but this hasn’t always been the case. Some people think lectins should be avoided, since a high intake has been linked with damage to the gut lining, digestive discomfort, and autoimmune diseases ( 37). Austin, Benjamin M. (2019). Plant Metaphors in the Old Greek of Isaiah. SBL Press. p.191. ISBN 9780884142911. Each 30g serving provides 50% of a UK adults’ recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin D and no additional ingredients, including preservatives or colourants, are used.

There is evidence that spelt cultivation increased in Iron Age Britain as damp regions of the country with heavy soils tolerated by spelt were being settled. [13] The amount of lectins you’re exposed to from spelt is unlikely to cause harm or prevent nutrient availability if consumed cooked.

One review of six studies involving a total of 247,487 people found that those who ate the most whole grains were 14% less likely to have a stroke compared with those who ate the least amount of whole grains ( 7). Our research indicates that Weetabix is a healthy, British breakfast cereal.

This sugary cereal is fortified to increase its nutritional content: vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12 and D are added in during the production process.

Similarly, references to the cultivation of spelt wheat in Biblical times (see matzo), in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia are incorrect and result from confusion with emmer wheat. [10] History [ edit ] Each flake of Special K contains 3 different grains: rice, wholewheat and barley. These are rolled together, toasted and flaked, producing a crunchy, nutritious cereal. Phytic acid, a compound naturally found in many plant foods, can reduce the absorption of minerals such as iron and zinc ( 35).

As well as feeding the nation, this breakfast cereal has also played a surprising part in scientific research.

In Germany and Austria, spelt loaves and rolls ( dinkelbrot) are widely available in bakeries, as is spelt flour in supermarkets. The unripe spelt grains are dried and eaten as grünkern ("green grain"). In a large bowl measure in the puffed grain, barley or oats, nuts – chopped if they’re on the big side, seeds, desiccated coconut, brown sugar and salt. Give it all a good mix to combine. This cereal, produced by Freee, is made with maize, a grain that’s naturally free from gluten. It’s approved by Britain’s leading gluten-free charity Coeliac UK and certified as a Soil Association organic product. Freee Cornflakes are Kosher and suitable for vegans.

This breakfast cereal is free from refined sugars, but still relatively high in sugar. Large amounts of honey and small amounts of dried shredded coconut are used to sweeten the granola. Wholegrain rice is naturally low in fat and practically free from saturated fats. It’s healthier than white rice, which is lighter in appearance as it’s milled to remove its bran, husk and germ. These areas of the rice grain contain almost all of its vitamins, minerals and other healthy compounds. Wholegrain rice is unmilled, and therefore higher in nutritional value. Nuts and seeds: sliced ​​almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, pistachios, cashews, hazelnuts, pumpkin(pepitas) seeds, chia seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, grated coconut Spelt was an important staple food in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times. Now it survives as a relict crop in Central Europe and northern Spain, and it 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. Like common wheat, it is a hexaploid wheat, which means it has six sets of chromosomes.
