Spelt Flour Now Available!
We’re excited that as of October 2011 we’re now milling whole grain spelt flour (stone-ground of course). This is an awesome ancient grain that hasn’t been messed with by modern breeding methods. Here’s what OMAFRA has to say about spelt flour:
Spelt flour can substitute for wheat flour in many products (breads, pasta, cookies, crackers, cakes, muffins, pancakes and waffles). The starch in spelt is more soluble than wheat and recipes containing spelt flour will frequently require less water than when using wheat flour. People with ‘allergies’ to wheat starch commonly report that spelt is easier to digest. Spelt does however contain gluten, and people with gluten allergies (celiac disease) are likely to be allergic to spelt, similar to wheat and other gluten grains.
LoonSong’s spelt flour is available in the same bag sizes and prices as our Red Fife and rye flours:
1.5kg – $7.00
3.5kg – $15.00
6kg – $25.00
