If you're looking for a substitute for all-purpose flour, but have struggled with the density of whole wheat flour, then you should give spelt flour a try.
Unlike the hard red wheat that makes up whole wheat flour, which is high in protein and produces denser products, spelt utilizes the entire grain while still retaining a smooth, silky texture. This means that it performs similar to all-purpose flour, and can be easily substituted while still yielding the light and fluffy quality you want.
Spelt is also unique because it retains its own flavor. It's been described as lightly acidic, earthy, or salty (in a good way). In other words, it will make your regular chocolate chip cookies stand out - or add a deeper, more complex flavor to your weekly bread.
Like all whole grain flour, spelt provides B vitamins, fatty acids, and protein. And since it's sprouted, it's easier for your body to digest and absorb the nutrients.
We source our flour from Lindley Mills, a local mill that's been making flour since the eighteenth century. You can be assured that your flour is not only locally sourced, but that it's responsibly grown, using the best organic practices.
