Eat the Whole Thing: KAMUT® Brand Khorasan Wheat Whole Grain UPCOMING Whole grains are an important and tasty way of including complex carbohydrates in a healthy EVENTS diet. Depending on your age, health, weight, and activity level, the USDA recommends that Americans consume at least three portions, from 1.5 ounces (young children) to 8 ounces (older 20 – 22 January boys and young adult men) of grains a day, and that more than half of those grains should be 2013* - National As- whole grains. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines “whole grain to include cere- sociation for the Spe- al grains that consist of the intact, ground, cracked or flaked fruit of the grains whose principal cialty Food Trade, components -- the starchy endosperm, germ and bran -- are present in the same relative propor- Fancy Food Show, San tions as they exist in the intact grain.” Francisco, CA, USA Each part of the grain is healthful, but consuming them “whole” provides all of the benefits work- ing together.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ࢝ The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) was notified on January 31, 2018, about a few wheat plants found on an access road in southern Alberta that survived a spraying treatment for weeds. ࢝ The CFIA’s tests confirmed that the wheat found is genetically modified to be herbicide tolerant. Genetically modified (GM) wheat is not authorized to be grown commercially in any country. ࢝ Since being notified, the CFIA worked diligently with federal and provincial partners and other stakeholders to determine the origin and extent of the GM wheat plants to get as much complete, accurate, and credible information about this discovery as possible. Based on extensive scientific testing, there is no evidence that this GM wheat is present anywhere other than the isolated site where it was discovered. ࢝ There is also no evidence that this wheat has entered the food or animal feed system, nor is it present anywhere else in the environment. ࢝ Health Canada and the CFIA have performed risk assessments of this finding, and have concluded that it does not pose a food safety, animal feed, or environmental risk. ࢝ The wheat plants found in Alberta are not a match for any wheat authorized for sale or for commercial production in Canada. -
Spelt Wheat: an Alternative for Sustainable Plant Production at Low N-Levels
sustainability Article Spelt Wheat: An Alternative for Sustainable Plant Production at Low N-Levels Eszter Sugár, Nándor Fodor *, Renáta Sándor ,Péter Bónis, Gyula Vida and Tamás Árendás Agricultural Institute, Centre for Agricultural Research, Brunszvik u. 2, 2462 Martonvásár, Hungary; [email protected] (E.S.); [email protected] (R.S.); [email protected] (P.B.); [email protected] (G.V.); [email protected] (T.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +36-22-569-554 Received: 31 October 2019; Accepted: 21 November 2019; Published: 27 November 2019 Abstract: Sustainable agriculture strives for maintaining or even increasing productivity, quality and economic viability while leaving a minimal foot print on the environment. To promote sustainability and biodiversity conservation, there is a growing interest in some old wheat species that can achieve better grain yields than the new varieties in marginal soil and/or management conditions. Generally, common wheat is intensively studied but there is still a lack of knowledge of the competitiveness of alternative species such as spelt wheat. The aim is to provide detailed analysis of vegetative, generative and spectral properties of spelt and common wheat grown under different nitrogen fertiliser levels. Our results complement the previous findings and highlight the fact that despite the lodging risk increasing together with the N fertiliser level, spelt wheat is a real alternative to common wheat for low N input production both for low quality and fertile soils. Vitality indices such as flag leaf chlorophyll content and normalized difference vegetation index were found to be good precursors of the final yield and the proposed estimation equations may improve the yield forecasting applications. -

Qualities of Einkorn, Emmer, and Spelt
Qualities of Einkorn, Emmer, and Spelt Frank J. Kutka Farm Breeding Club Co-Coordinator Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture Society Einkorn | Favored for adding excellent flavor to foods. | Suitable for baked products, some good for bread. | Higher lipid content than bread wheat (4.2 vs. 2.8 g/100g. | Usually high in minerals although low in Cadmium. | Usually higher in protein, lutein, and Vitamin E; Lower in total phenols. | Has same allergenic proteins as other wheats but may be lower in some of the gliadins that cause responses in those with celiac disease: more research is needed. Emmer | Favored for adding excellent flavor to foods. | Recommended for children and new mothers in Ethiopia and for diabetics in India. | Gluten varies from very low to higher than bread wheat: bread making properties vary but are usually lower than bread wheat. Missing some gliadin proteins. | Usually has higher minerals, higher fiber and lower glycemic index. | Often has higher antioxidants (total phenolics and flavonoids) and protein. Not high in carotenoids. | Often has higher phytic acid concentration. Emmer | The species is a known source of disease and pest resistance traits (common bunt, stem rust, leaf rust, powdery mildew, Septoria Leaf Blotch, Loose smut, Tan Spot, Russian wheat aphid, Hessian Fly) | Asian and African types appear to be more drought tolerant | Some varieties have shown tolerance to higher soil salinity | Alternate source of dwarfing trait Spelt | Spelt has gluten and similar protein composition to bread wheat but reduced bread making quality. | Higher lipid and unsaturated fatty acid content. | Some minerals tend to be higher in spelt: Fe, Zn, Mg, P. -
