Targroch light spelt flour - what is worth knowing?

Nutritional values and properties

Spelt is a source of:

• fiber that supports digestion and gives a feeling of satiety,
• Vegetable protein, better absorbed than regular wheat,
• B vitamins, especially niacin and thiamin,
• minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc and phosphorus.

Light spelt flour contains less ash (minerals) and fiber than whole wheat flour, but this makes it softer and easier to use in baked goods that require a fluffy texture.

Is spelt flour gluten-free?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. The answer is no, spelt flour is not gluten-free.

Spelt, although often referred to as a "healthier variety of wheat," belongs to the same grain family and naturally contains gluten. Compared to common wheat:

• the gluten in spelt has a different structure - it is softer and more easily soluble in water,
• is better tolerated by some people (however, this applies only to sensitive people, not those with celiac disease),
• absolutely cannot be consumed by people with celiac disease or diagnosed gluten intolerance.

In practice, this means that spelt flour is a great choice for people who want to diversify their diet and are looking for an alternative to regular wheat flour, but it should not be considered a "gluten-free" product.
