Spelt Flour, Wholmeal (Organic, Bulk) - 25kg

Spelt has high water solubility, so its nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. Wholemeal spelt flour is made from whole grain. No chemical bleaching. No alcohol treatment. No additives. No anti-bacterial or anti-fungal agents. No bromate added.

It is commonly used in bread making and to make pastas, crackers and biscuits. It can replace whole wheat flour or whole grain flour in most baking recipes. It lends a sweet, nutty flavour to baked goods.

Ingredients: Certified Organic Wholemeal Spelt Flour

Origin: Germany

Certification: Organic

How Interesting...

The gluten in spelt flour is a little unusual. Unlike wheat flour, which is quite resiliant and often needs a long kneading time (with breads) to strengthen its gluten and give the bread structure, the gluten in spelt flour breaks down fairly easily. This means that it is pretty critical not to overmix it, or risk having a crumbly texture imparted into whatever you’re making.
Spelt is a species of wheat arising from natural hybridisation which has taken place centuries ago. It is one of the original 7 grains mentioned in the bible and continues to be popular today for its nutritional value.
