Wholemeal spelt flour is made by grinding whole spelt grains into a fine powder. It is an ancient grain that has been consumed by humans for centuries and has a long history in various civilizations.

Spelt flour is a fascinating choice from a nutritional standpoint. It is higher in protein, magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper compared to wheat. Additionally, the proteins in spelt flour contain all eight essential amino acids, which is not common among cereals.

Spelt flour can be used as a substitute for wheat flour in many recipes. Its higher nutritional content makes it a good option for adding more nutrients to your dishes. However, as it is more difficult to work with than wheat flour, it is often mixed with wheat flour when making baked goods such as cakes, pancakes, and pastries.

This helps to improve the texture and make the dough or batter more manageable. Using a combination of spelt and wheat flour can also help to add a unique flavour to your dishes.
