Organic White Spelt Flour by Fenbrook Organic. Milled from spelt organically grown, harvested, dried and packed in the UK. Spelt is an ancient relative of durum wheat that's similar to wheat in appearance, but which has a tougher husk that helps protect the nutrients inside the grain. It originated in the Near East more than 8,000 years ago and later spread throughout Europe, becoming especially popular in Germany, where it was farmed throughout the Middle Ages. In recent years it has enjoyed renewed popularity as a health food. INGREDIENTS Organic spelt SAFETY WARNING Packed on premises that handle celery, cereals containing gluten, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites and tree nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts). See moreProduced to the highest standards | Certified organic by the Soil Association. When it comes to breads, buns and similar items, it's a good idea to use spelt in combination with standard wheat flour, because spelt has less gluten, making a less stretchy dough than ordinary wheat flour. Our white spelt flour can be used as a one-to-one substitute for ordinary wheat flour in cakes, cookies and muffins, to which it'll lend its subtly nutty flavour and an airy texture, and to fruit desserts such as crumbles. It contains a wider range of nutrients than other grains in the wheat family, and higher levels of fibre, manganese, niacin, thiamine, copper and vitamin B2. Our organic white spelt flour is a terrific ancient-grain substitute for ordinary wheat flour, adaptable to pretty much all the same uses but adding an authentic, subtle flavour that has notes of pecan and bran.
