Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our recipes.

Is spelt suitable for people with gluten sensitivity?

While spelt contains gluten and isn't safe for those with celiac disease, some people with mild wheat sensitivity may find it easier to digest than conventional wheat due to its different gluten structure.

What are the main health benefits of cooking with spelt?

Spelt is high in fiber, protein, and minerals like manganese and copper. It supports digestive health, provides sustained energy, and contains antioxidants that help reduce inflammation.

How can I substitute spelt flour in regular recipes?

Spelt flour can usually replace regular wheat flour in a 1:1 ratio, though you may need slightly less liquid as spelt absorbs moisture differently. It works especially well in bread, pancakes, and pastries.
