The nutritional value of two varieties of spelt wheat (Triticum spelta) was compared with the conventional variety of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) grown in Slovakia and Sweden. The chemical analysis shows that T. spelta has a significantly higher content of crude protein, proteins (P0.001), more nonessential amino acids and significantly less lysine (16 g N, P 0.05). The assessed values show that with an increasing content of crude protein the content of proteins does not increase proportionately. The representation of individual protein fractions, with different digestibility, chnages with the variation of total N content. We did not find any significant differences between the varieties on the basis of biological test of growth in rats.
