Whats the Hype on Spelt flour and the Differences?

Sprouted spelt contains more nutrients than whole spelt and whole grain spelt. The reason for this is that during the sprouting process dormant vitamins and minerals are brought to life. When sprouted spelt is turned into flour nothing is taken in or out, giving it more nutritional benefits and a superior taste to other sprouted flours.
