🌾 What Is Spelt Wheat?

**Spelt wheat** is an ancient grain variety that **naturally grows in a protective husk**. This robust outer layer shields the grain from environmental impacts, helping it retain its **high nutritional value** and natural purity.

To process spelt into flour, the grain must first be **hulled (de-husked)**—a more complex step than processing modern wheat. This careful, hands-on process ensures you receive premium flour with a distinct flavour, rich nutrients, and a gentle effect on the digestive system.

✨ Why Choose Spelt Flour?

• **Rich in Fiber and Carbs** – Provides sustained energy and promotes satiety.
• **Valuable Mineral Composition:** High in Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, and Vitamin B3 (Niacin).
• **Higher Protein Content** – Lab-tested on our farm-grown spelt, demonstrating elevated protein levels compared to regular wheat.
• **Different Gluten Structure** – Spelt has a gentler gluten matrix that is often **easier to digest**, avoiding the "heavy feeling" associated with some conventional flours.
• **Organically Grown:** Cultivated without synthetic pesticides or mineral fertilizers, resulting in a cleaner product for your daily meals.

👩‍🍳 Using Spelt Flour in the Kitchen

Spelt flour is ideal for everyday baking: **pancakes, muffins, cookies, pizza dough, and bread**. You can use it as 100% replacement or blend it with your regular wheat flour while you adjust to its unique properties.

Practical tips for working with spelt dough:

• **Sensitive Dough:** Spelt dough is delicate and does not tolerate prolonged or aggressive kneading—handle it gently.
• **Requires More Water:** Spelt absorbs more moisture, so the dough will often feel stickier or runnier than conventional wheat dough—this is normal.
• **Flavour Profile:** It has a milder, slightly nutty taste, which pairs wonderfully with nuts, seeds, honey, and dried fruits.
