Storage conditions: store tightly closed in a dry place. Prevent from the long-term direct stream of light because the product may discolor and lose nutritional properties.

About spelt: Spelt is an ancient and distant cousin of common wheat, with a slightly nuttier, sweeter flavor. Spelt Flour is a nutrient-packed whole grain flour, with a higher protein, fiber and B vitamin content than wheat. It also has higher water solubility, so is more easily digested.
It can be substituted for wheat flour in all recipes; however, because it has less and more fragile gluten than wheat, it should be mixed with wheat flour in baking yeast bread.
Spelt is popular in Europe, especially in Germany, where it is known as “dinkel“, found in a variety of foods, and in Italy, where it is used in gourmet soups, pizza crusts, bread, and cakes. More recently it has gained popularity in the United States due to increasing demand for higher fiber pasta and cereals.
Some people with wheat allergies are able to better tolerate spelt, but it does contain gluten so is not suitable for anyone on a gluten-free diet.
Color and taste can vary because it is a product which is dependent on seasonal fluctuations.
! Very important to a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
