                                According to research, the sugar content in whole-grain spelt is very similar to that of modern whole-grain wheat, with both consisting of only 2-3% sugars by dry weight. The true health distinction lies in spelt's high fiber content, which influences how its carbohydrates are digested and absorbed by the body.
