Spelt Flour Recipes

Spelt flour is an ancient grain that has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its unique nutritional profile and culinary uses. Made from the wheat of the spelt plant, Triticum spelta, this type of flour contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals than modern wheat flour. It also has a slightly sweet flavor and nutty aroma, making it an excellent choice for baking enthusiasts.
