This Organic Wholemeal Spelt Flour from Shipton Mill creates a beautifully nutty, full-flavoured brown bread that is naturally rich in minerals. Spelt is known for its higher protein and fibre content compared to common wheat, making it a nutritious choice for baking.
 
Spelt is an ancient grain closely related to Emmer, first cultivated between 10,200 and 8,800 BC in what is now the West Bank. Although it became less common with the rise of industrialised wheat farming, spelt has endured and can still be found growing in remote mountainous regions of Europe. Despite its nutritional benefits, spelt requires specialist equipment to remove its tough outer hull, which made it less practical for large-scale farming. However, its unique flavour, digestibility, and heritage have led to a revival among artisan bakers and organic farmers.
