This Felicetti Organic Whole Grain Spelt Spaghetti is an authentic pasta made in Italy since 1908. Felicetti is manufactured the old way; slow drying at lower temperatures allows for a rougher texture which allows sauce to be more readily absorbed. Spelt is fast gaining popularity as a health food because it contains a broad spectrum of nutrients, including complex carbohydrates, sugar, soluble and insoluble fiber, sodium, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and more. Spelt is high in vitamin B2, niacin, manganese, thiamin, copper, and magnesium. Because spelt is highly water soluble, these nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. In addition to being loaded with essential nutrients, Spelt is a good source of dietary fiber, which has been shown to lower total and LDL cholesterol levels. And it tastes great, too!
