Spelt grain is an ancient variety of wheat, with health benefits attributed to its unique protein characteristics. Spelt almost disappeared when it was overtaken in farming, milling and baking by more modern wheat varieties. However, Australia benefits from still having original and genetically true spelt varieties, which means that Australian grown and milled spelt flour has a distinct advantage over spelt flours imported from overseas countries where crossbreeding has compromised purity.
Laucke Spelt Flour has been milled from selected varieties of spelt that have been grown in suitable environments so as to ensure reliable production of the best quality spelt breads.
Spelt is not recommended for coeliacs but may be suitable as an alternative grain for people sensitive to normal wheat products and those with mild wheat gluten intolerance.
