Perfect for: Use Matthews Ancient grain spelt flour in any recipes calling for wheat flour. Often used as an all-purpose flour, spelt is perfect to blend with baking recipes. Being a light grain baking bread with spelt produces a softer and tender loaf.
Milling and Provenance: Spelt was first cultivated 6000 to 900 years ago. It is referred to as an ancient grain along with Einkorn and Emmer - the other “Farro” kinds of wheat. We work with spelt farmers around the Cotswolds and UK and share a de-hulling plant at one local farm. The spelt is then collected by the mill and conditioned in our 100-year-old pine bins before being milled into different types of spelt flour.
Protein: 11%
