Spelt Flour Bread

If you are following the Dr. Serbi Diet, you know well about spelt flour.  Spelt flour is the number one use flour on the list.  Kamut flour comes next. The spelt flour is use to make spelt flour bread, spelt flour pancakes and spelt flour pasta.  You can see at the bottom of the article, some recipes I personally created.

WHAT IS SPELT FLOUR?

Spelt is an ancient grain whose berries can be milled into powder or cooked and eaten whole to obtain the benefits of this nutritious grain.

Known for its hard husk that keeps even the most determine insect out, spelt is an ancient grain that was largely cultivated in Egypt. The process of grinding spelt berries into powder was very labor intensive, so when newer grains and wheat were made available spelt became unpopular.  Despite this, spelt flour is rising in popularity once again!

Spelt has the most fragile gluten genetic make-up out of all the other wheat; this means spelt flour may not rise as high as any other gluten-laden wheat. Though lacking in gluten spelt has many nutrients, such as Protein, fiber, copper, manganese, magnesium,  B vitamins 1, 3, and 6 , folate, and phosphorus.

Spelt can also help manage diabetes and lower bad cholesterol levels. It improves bone health, digestion, blood circulation, hormonal balance, and the growth of new tissues organs and muscles.  Ty's conscious kitchen

Spelt Flour DOES Contain Gluten

Many may get this confused and even though it is an approved flour by Dr. Sebi, it is not a gluten free flour and for those with wheat sensitive diets, this flour may not be for you.  Spelt has less calories than wheat flour and more protein too but less fiber.  Spelt flour is very easy to digest.

Because the gluten in the flour causes the flour to break down easier than wheat flours, it is important not to overmix the flour.  It will not rise as some wheat flours but is used in many Dr. Sebi recipes.
