Webster says it's only in British English.

But that's not true anyway:
Webster says:
'of Germanic origin; akin to Middle High German and Middle Dutch "spelte":
split peace of wood, Old High German "spaltan": to split; probably from the
splitting of the husk during threshing - more at SPILL] : a wheat (Triticum
spelta) that is of no commercial importance in America but is grown to some
extent in Germany and Switzerland and that has lax spikes with spikelets
containing two light red kernels - called also SPELTZ; compare EMMER'
