This organic whole spelt flour is stoneground from 100% whole certified organic spelt grain by Wholegrain Milling Co. in Gunnedah, NSW. The entire grain —including the bran, germ, and endosperm—is milled slowly on traditional stone mills, preserving the natural oils, fibre, and nutrients of the grain.

Spelt is one of the oldest cultivated wheats, valued for its robust, nutty flavour and is reported to have a better digestibility compared to modern wheat. This wholemeal flour is rich in fibre and protein, making it ideal for hearty sourdough loaves, rustic breads, fruit loaves, biscuits, and cakes with texture and depth.

Naturally beige with visible bran particles, this flour brings an earthy, wholesome feel to baking and is a favourite among those seeking both nutrition and flavour.

About spelt grain

Spelt is an ancient wheat species that predates many modern bread wheats. Its protein composition creates a gluten network that behaves differently in dough, often requiring gentler mixing and careful hydration. As a wholemeal flour, this product includes the bran, germ and endosperm of the grain. To learn more about spelt, you can read about how it fits within modern farming practices and modern wheats, see our article on spelt.

The presence of bran and germ increases water absorption and influences fermentation and crumb structure. Bakers commonly adjust resting times and hydration when working with whole spelt. To better understand gluten and how ancient grains like spelt compare with modern wheats, see our article on gluten.

How is stoneground flour different from roller milled?

Stoneground flour is milled slowly and gently, preserving more of the grain’s flavour, oils, and nutrients. It gives a more complex flavour and slightly coarser texture. For more information about different milling techniques, check out our post about flour.
