Harvesting

Organic spelt flour, made from an ancient grain closely related to wheat, is valued for its nutty flavour and nutritional benefits. Grown sustainably, spelt is sown in autumn and harvested in early summer, making it a resilient and environmentally friendly crop. The flour, with its light golden hue and slightly coarse texture, is rich in fibre, protein, and B vitamins, offering a wholesome alternative for health-conscious bakers.

Some organic spelt flours are fortified with nutrients like iron or calcium to further enhance their nutritional value. Whether used in bread, pastries, or pasta, spelt flour combines flavour and nourishment, catering to the growing demand for natural, functional foods.

The organic nature of Organic Spelt Flour means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

The History of Organic Spelt Flour

Organic spelt flour has a rich history dating back to ancient civilisations, particularly in Europe. Spelt, an ancient grain, was a staple in the diets of early Europeans and has been cultivated for over 7,000 years. Its heritage can be traced to the Bronze Age, where it was a key ingredient in traditional bread-making. In recent years, the resurgence of interest in ancient grains and organic farming has led to a renewed appreciation for spelt flour. Its nutty flavour and nutritional benefits have made it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers seeking an alternative to modern wheat flour.
