<strong>Spelt Flour</strong>

Ideal for wheat-based products

Spelt flour: rich in protein,
vitamins, and high fiber content

Used since ancient times, spelt flour is particularly suitable for those who cannot digest bread, pasta and other hard or soft wheat products. Obtained by milling caryopses of the genus Triticum, this flour is not only rich in protein, minerals, and B vitamins, but also contains methionine, an essential amino acid that other grains lack or are deficient in that is involved in the synthesis of carnitine, cysteine, lecithin, taurine, and other phospholipids.

Spelt flour has a high fiber content that helps to regularize intestinal transit and preserve the ability to absorb water. The significant amount of fiber makes this flour particularly suitable for dietary regimens because the fiber, swelling in the stomach, tends to anticipate the sense of satiety causing us to eat less. In addition, being rich in vitamins, minerals and protein, spelt flour has a high nutritional value, while it has a lower caloric intake than refined flours due to a lower concentration of starch. Its high amount of protein and mineral substances, iron first and foremost, has a positive physiological and nutritional effect.

Spelt flour for family and professionals

Spelt flour?
Lots of flavor and few calories

Spelt used for flour production undergoes only one process, that of peeling, which consists of removing the outer husks from each individual grain, while still retaining a good percentage of fiber and nutritional values, and milling then takes place on the naked grain, which thus retains most of its nutritional characteristics at origin.
Molini Spigadoro flour retains most of the nutritional characteristics of spelt since it is obtained by grinding the husked spelt grain using the traditional mill. Our spelt flour has a unique taste that is also transferred to mixed doughs. Regardless of whether it is used alone or combined with other, more refined flours, spelt flour is undoubtedly excellent for making breads, pastas, snacks and delicious pastry products such as rustic cakes, tarts, muffins and cookies with a unique and aromatic flavor.
