What it is

Spelt flour is made from spelt, an ancient grain related to wheat. It has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a coarser texture than modern wheat flour. Spelt has been cultivated for thousands of years and is considered a whole grain when used as flour.

Why it's used

Spelt flour is used as a substitute for wheat flour in baking, adding a distinct flavor and texture. It is often found in breads, crackers, cookies, and pasta. Manufacturers use it to offer a whole-grain option with a unique taste profile.

Health notes

Spelt flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a whole grain, it provides fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar grains, and spelt is considered a nutritious food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Spelt is a type of wheat and therefore contains gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid spelt.
