Pearled spelled

Spelled (we are talking about coconut spelled) differs from soft and durum wheats due to some peculiar characteristics linked to the higher content of mineral salts, the presence of a thicker aleurone layer (tissue underneath the pericarp, rich in vitamins and functional proteins), to the richness in beta-glucans (natural gums with a precious function of protecting the digestive system and facilitating digestion). Spelled also has a low glycemic index (due to the slow transformation of starches during digestion which avoids a high glycemic peak, favoring a better energy intake) and is therefore particularly suitable for those who practice sporting and competitive activities, but also for those who carry out sedentary jobs. Shelled spelled also exists. The substantial difference between pearled spelled and hulled spelled is mainly due to the processes to which it is subjected: it only undergoes the separation of the husk, the external cortical part devoid of particular nutritional qualities, while in pearled spelled, in addition to this last processing, it This is followed by another abrasion, similar to that of rice, in which the bran is partially eliminated, making the cereal quicker to cook.
