What it is

Spelt is an ancient grain, a type of wheat that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Whole spelt flour is made by grinding the entire spelt kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. This process retains more of the grain's natural nutrients and fiber compared to refined flours.

Why it's used

Whole spelt flour is used as a substitute for traditional wheat flour in baking. It adds a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture to products like breads, muffins, cookies, and pasta. Manufacturers use it to create whole-grain versions of baked goods and other grain-based foods.

Health notes

Whole spelt flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. Like other whole grains, it can contribute to a healthy diet. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated spelt, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also reviewed it. Evidence suggests whole grains are beneficial for health, but specific health claims require careful consideration of the overall diet.

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.
