Organic Refined Spelt Flour
What it is
This is a finely milled flour made from organic spelt grain. Spelt is an ancient wheat variety known for its nutty flavor and slightly sweet taste. Refined flour means the bran and germ have been removed, resulting in a lighter texture compared to whole grain flours. It is a versatile baking ingredient suitable for a wide range of recipes.
How people cook with it
Bakers use this flour to create a variety of baked goods. It can be incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes.

This refined spelt flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour in most baking recipes. When substituting, you may find that spelt flour absorbs liquid differently, so a slight adjustment to the liquid content might be necessary. It tends to produce baked goods with a tender crumb and a pleasant, subtle flavor. It works well in yeast-leavened breads, quick breads, muffins, and pastries. For best results, follow recipe guidelines or experiment to find your preferred texture and taste.
