About SPELT & KAMUT…

These are ancient, high protein grains and relatives of modern wheat. They have a great flavour and are easily absorbed by the body. They are particularly enjoyed by many requiring special diets, such as people who have a low wheat tolerance or gluten sensitivities. These pastas are easily digested and have a great, nutty taste! Spelt flour is versatile – used in baking breads, cakes & muffins and in pizza dough.

All L'Abruzzese pasta is free of any chemicals & genetic engineering (GE & GMO free)

Our Spelt Fettuccine are an organic favourite

 

Something to note:

As Organic Flours have no chemicals or preservatives added to them, the smell of the grain (and hence the pasta) may be a little different from "typical" wheat / pasta. 

Rest assurred that all our pasta maintains quality & freshness!

 

HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE GRAINS

L'ABRUZZESE's Greenwheat Freekeh Pasta & Spelt – Freekeh Pasta

WHAT IS FREEKEH ? (pronounced “free-kah”)

Freekeh is processed from durum wheat, and harvested while the grains are still young & green. The grains are parched, roasted and dried. It has a nutty texture with a slight smoky flavour and makes an excellent alternative to rice. Freekeh was first discovered in 2300BC in the Eastern Mediterranean when a city under siege harvested their crop early. When the green wheat was set on fire the villagers rubbed away the burnt outer layer to discover the green grain.

Freekeh is a Nutritional Powerhouse. Researched and tested by the CSIRO, it is a low GI food with four times the fibre content of brown rice. It has a high protein content compared to other grains, is low in fat and rich in calcium, iron and zinc.

Freekeh is:

  • Low in fat
  • Low GI
  • Low Carb
  • High fibre – 4x that of brown rice!
  • Great for weight loss
  • Good for general bowel health
  • Has no GMOs
