The amino acid composition and content of nutrients was compared in two varieties of spelt (Triticum spelta L.) and two conventional varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in Slovakia and in Sweden. The chemical analyses show that T. spelta has significantly higher content of crude protein, proteins, fat, ash (P0.001), more nonessential amino acids and significantly less lysine. The differences in content of all amino acids are statistically significant in view of great differences in content of crude protein when comparing the varieties of wheat (if we take dry matter as the basis). We found more unfavourable proportion of proline to arginine and lysine in spelt which decreases the total utilization of proteins
