If you’ve come this far, after that horrid opening paragraph, congratulations! We happy to have you with us.<\/p>\n
First the name of our site pick is Spelt, but it’s not spelt Spelt, it’s spelt, Spe.lt – cute huh? We thought so. Do we have a clue what Spelt has to do with nutrition. Sure, we’re not completely food stupid – Spelt is an ancient grain. Our distant forefathers used to sit around in their caves watching movies eating popspelt -a forerunner of what we call popcorn. \u00a0And if you’re from America, spelt is the past tense of spell in Britain. And you know, they invented English, so how they spell words is more correct than how us Yankees spell words. If they like colour, we should like colour. Do the Canadians respect English spelling? I don’t know, do you?<\/p>\n
All this has nothing to do with our site pick, it’s more or less an attempt to see just how much you care about what you eat.<\/p>\n
Our site pick, Spelt, makes it easy to find out the nutritional value of any food, in any quantity, even in single pieces like 4 peanuts. You can use American measurements or metric measurements, Spelt does not care where you’re from.<\/p>\n
If you’re a mom or a grandma and you \u00a0bake goodies for your family, wouldn’t you like to know the nutritional value of what you cook or bake? Spelt not only gives you the calories in food, but it gives you the amount of fat, carbs, and protein in food.<\/p>\n
So, why waste time writing anymore – you’re either still with us, or you’ve gone off in search of something meaningful. But this is meaningful, I tells ya! We all have to eat. And what we eat is what we are – who said that? It makes no sense. I am not an Egg McMuffin.<\/p>\n
Now, instead of boring you with 360+ more words, we’re going to show you, exactly what you can do with Spelt.<\/p>\n

\nAs you can see (above) you can really chow down on grapes. Eat a bunch and stay slim. If your belly can hold 100 grapes, you’re only consuming 340 calories – or less than you’d consume if you ate just\u00a0one cup (8 oz.) of vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As I can tell you – it does not take nearly as long to eat one cup of ice cream as it does to eat 100 grapes. Plus, you don’t need to chew ice cream, so you don’t burn off calories chewing like you do with grapes. I am guessing you burn off almost as many calories chewing grapes as you get from eating grapes. Does this make grapes the perfect diet food? Some will tell you grapes are too high in sugars, I say bull hickey.<\/p>\n

Above: Calories by the piece. 4 peanuts is 4 peanut whether you live in Germany, England, Australia, New Zealand or Lower Slobovia.<\/p>\n
If you have recipes and you’d like to know what the nutritional value is, lookie at the cookie recipe below:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2016\/spelt-cookie.png\")
<\/p>\n
See? Look up! That recipe makes 24 delicious cookies. Each cookie has a hair over 295 calories. \u00a0So two chocolate chip cookies and an 8 oz. glass of milk (who eats cookies without milk?) is about 800 calories. So what was my grandma doing giving me cookies and milk when I got home from school?? Would I have eaten 4 grapes or 4 brazil nuts for a snack. I would have thought she didn’t love me.<\/p>\n
Now, finally, we compare the diet of a wealthy person (EB) and a poor person (me). First EB’s daily calorie intake:<\/p>\n

My diet. It’s all I can afford. And I have to pay for catfish & chicken food too!<\/p>\n
