Wikipedia tells us that:
Spelt, also known as dinkel wheat,[2] or hulled wheat,[2] is an ancient species of wheat from the fifth millennium BC. Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times; it now survives as a relict crop in Central Europe and northern Spain and has found a new market as a health food.
Sorry. I'm a writer, so yeah... words.
The greater point I want to leave here outside of vocabulary, is that this post is a great reminder of why people with and without mental illness should join organizations like NAMI to foster understanding of the difficulties and overcome the stigmas associated with a wide variety of emotional challenges.

Off topic but I'm from the UK, we say, 'spelt' or 'spelled.'
