What is it?

Spelt flour is a wonderful easily digestible product having a pleasant nutty taste. It can be used for bread but also for the full range of baking (cakes and biscuits, scones, pizza base ...) in exactly the same way as ordinary wheat flour though the bread dough may take longer to rise. This flour is made from whole grain spelt which has been biodynamically grown here in New Zealand.
