Organic White Spelt Flour (Compostable Packaging) - 700g
Spelt flour is made from ground spelt, a grain very similar to wheat. Spelt flour is a perfect substitute for wheat flour in breads, cakes, pastries, pasta, and pancakes.
Because spelt is more water soluble than wheat flour, when you substitute 100% spelt flour for wheat flour, cut down the liquid by 3/4. Also, because spelt flour has less gluten, be careful not to over mix.
Ingredients: Certified Organic White Spelt Flour
Origin: Packed in New Zealand from imported ingredients (USA)
Certification: BioGro Organic
Enjoy Me...
- Since spelt contains slightly less gluten than wheat, its easiest to use in recipes that don’t require rising. Banana spelt flour muffins, anyone? Spelt flour also works beautifully in pie crusts, adding a unique flavor that particularly complements pumpkin and sweet potato.
- When using spelt flour for baking bread that requires rising, replace up to 50% wheat flour with spelt flour. This ratio will give you the great nutty flavor of spelt without compromising the structure of the bread. Since spelt isn’t gluten free, baked goods made from spelt flour will retain their delicious chewiness.
How Interesting...
- Organic spelt is a non-hybrid relative of our present day wheat that dates back more than 9,000 years.
