Green peas belong to the legume family. They are high in fibre, protien and phytonutrients. Containing specific antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients.
Spelt flour has more nutrients and a lower gluten content that normal wheat flour, spelt is a great inclusion in the diet. It also has a lower GI level, therefore not causing a spike in blood sugar levels like many white processed flours can.
