Ideal for bread, muffins, pancakes, cookies, and pastries, Spelt Flour adds a slightly nutty and sweet flavor to your recipes, enhancing both taste and texture. Its fine consistency ensures smooth batter and dough, resulting in soft, light, and perfectly baked creations.
Made from 100% pure spelt grains with no additives or preservatives, this flour offers natural nutrition and high-quality performance in every recipe. Incorporate Spelt Flour into your daily cooking for a healthy, flavorful, and wholesome alternative to regular wheat flour.
The flour is light tan to beige in color. Darker than white flour but lighter than whole wheat. You'll see tiny flecks of bran throughout. The color is warm and natural-looking. When fresh, it has a clean, appealing appearance.
The flour feels soft despite being whole grain. It's finely ground but not as fine as white flour. There's a slight graininess when you rub it between fingers. When mixed with water, it forms dough easily. The dough feels softer and more pliable than whole wheat dough.
Spelt has a distinct nutty, slightly sweet taste. It's more flavorful than regular wheat. Not bland at all. The taste is pleasant and works well in both sweet and savory recipes. You actually taste the grain, which is a good thing.
Fresh spelt flour smells earthy and wholesome. There's a nutty fragrance to it. When you bake it, the aroma is wonderful. Your kitchen smells like a proper bakery. The scent is warm and inviting, not heavy.
Bake rustic artisan bread with a complex flavor. Make pasta that tastes incredible. Bake muffins and cakes with nutty undertones. Prepare pizza dough with better nutrition. Make cookies that aren't too sweet. Bake pancakes and waffles for breakfast. Create healthy crackers and flatbreads. Use in pie crusts for savory pies. Make homemade tortillas.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place. Whole grain spelt flour goes rancid faster than white flour. Use within 2-3 months or refrigerate for longer storage. The oils in the grain can spoil. Smell it before using. If it smells bitter or off, throw it out. Keep away from heat and moisture.
A: No, spelt contains gluten. It's a type of wheat. People with celiac disease must avoid it completely. However, some people who are wheat-sensitive (not celiac) tolerate spelt better. The gluten structure is different from modern wheat. Always check with your doctor if you have gluten issues.
A: Not quite. Spelt absorbs liquid differently. Use about 25% less liquid when substituting spelt. The gluten is more fragile, so handle the dough gently. Don't over-knead or it becomes sticky. Start by replacing half the flour in recipes until you get the feel of it.

Ancient Grain Nutrition

Easier to Digest for Some
Many people who struggle with regular wheat handle spelt better. The gluten structure is different and more fragile. This makes it easier for some digestive systems to break down. Not suitable for celiacs, but better tolerated by others. |
|
Higher Protein Content
Spelt contains 15-17% protein compared to 10-12% in regular wheat. More protein means better nutrition. Keeps you full longer. Good for people wanting more protein from plant sources. The protein quality is excellent too. |
Complex Nutty Flavor
The taste makes food more interesting. You're not just eating for nutrition. The flavor adds to the eating experience. Bread tastes like real bread, not just filler. Food becomes more satisfying. |

Better Blood Sugar Response
Spelt has a lower glycemic index than regular wheat. The complex carbohydrates release energy slowly. No sudden sugar spikes and crashes. Better for sustained energy throughout the day. Particularly helpful for people managing blood sugar. |

Artisan Bread Baking
Replace regular flour with spelt flour in bread recipes. Use slightly less water. Knead gently. Let it rise once, shape, then bake. |
|
Homemade Pasta
Mix spelt flour with eggs to make pasta dough. The flavor is phenomenal. Much better than regular pasta. |

Healthier Baking
Substitute spelt flour for half the white flour in cake and muffin recipes. Going 100% spelt makes things too dense. Start with 50-50 mix. |

Use spelt flour for pizza base. Mix with water, yeast, olive oil, and salt. Let it rise for an hour. Roll out and top with your favorites. |
