Spelt Flour

Spelt Flour is a type of ancient wheat flour used across European and Middle Eastern cuisines, prized for its nutty flavor and slightly lighter texture compared with modern common wheat. It is commonly used for breads, pastries and rustic baking where a heartier, aromatic crumb is desired. Nutritionally, Spelt Flour provides a good amount of dietary fiber, with about 10.7g per 100 g, and also delivers more protein than many other flours, along with notable minerals such as manganese and selenium. This combination helps make it a more filling, nutrient-dense choice for baking compared with refined white flours. From a health perspective, spelt flour is valued for its higher fiber and mineral content and can contribute to satiety and steady energy release in meals. It still contains gluten, so it should be avoided by people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
