Spelt is a type of wheat that served as a staple in European diets from the Bronze Age until well into the Middle Ages. Although considered the food of peasants for centuries, spelt has recently received attention as a healthier alternative to other grains, including common wheat. More easily digestible than ordinary wheat or other grains, spelt can cause allergic reactions in some individuals who cannot digest gluten, and like common wheat, spelt is classified as a "gluten grain." Spelt's nutritional value should not be overlooked, as it contains more protein, niacin, and other B vitamins, as well as fewer carbohydrates, than ordinary wheat. Although once limited to specialty food stores, spelt is becoming increasingly popular, and spelt pasta, spelt bread, and other such products may now be found in many more national grocery store chains.

Quote:
The passage describes spelt as a historic wheat variety, recently gaining popularity as a healthier alternative to common wheat. It notes spelt's easier digestibility, higher protein and B vitamin content, lower carbohydrates, but clarifies it still contains gluten and can cause allergic reactions. The passage also mentions its increasing availability in mainstream stores.

E. Spelt was first cultivated in the Middle Ages.
The passage directly states that spelt "has recently received attention as a healthier alternative to other grains, including common wheat," supporting option A. Option B is contradicted by its historical status as "the food of peasants." Option C is false as spelt contains gluten. While spelt has more protein than wheat, the passage doesn't emphasize "large amounts" in absolute terms. Option E is incorrect as spelt dates back to the Bronze Age.
Answer: A
2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a health benefit of spelt?
A. It is more easily digested than wheat.
B. It contains more protein than wheat.
C. It does not contain any gluten.
D. It has fewer carbohydrates than wheat.
E. It contains a number of B vitamins.
The passage lists A, B, D, and E as benefits. However, it explicitly states spelt is a "gluten grain" and can cause allergic reactions in those sensitive to gluten, so option C is incorrect and therefore not a health benefit.
Answer: C
