About the Grain

Every wheat has its own story, and spelt is no exception.

Although often described as an ancient grain, spelt isn't an alternative to wheat – it is wheat. It belongs to the same hexaploid wheat group as modern bread wheat but has followed a different path through history, retaining many of the characteristics that have made it popular with bakers for thousands of years.

Kialla Pure Foods roller mill certified organic Australian spelt into a fine white flour with a mild, slightly sweet flavour and consistent baking performance. Whether you're making sourdough, sandwich loaves, pastries or biscuits, Organic White Spelt Flour offers a versatile way to explore one of the world's oldest cultivated wheats.
