Azure Market Organics Spelt Flour (Unifine), Organic-27oz

Spelt is recognized for its ease in baking with results that are similar to using whole wheat flour. While this is not an appropriate choice for those maintaining a gluten-free diet, our Organic Spelt Flour (Unifine) is low in gluten and suitable for some people who are intolerant to wheat. It is an excellent substitute for wheat flour, and imparts a delightful flavor and consistency to breads. 

 

Spelt flour is a whole grain flour. The flour is sifted through a large screen, which removes only some of the large bran flakes. If a sifted flour is desired, it is recommended to repeat this at home. 

 

Our Organic Spelt Flour (Unifine) is milled using our Unifine mill. The Unifine milling process results in a nutritionally superior flour with a texture that makes it a dream for baking. If all you’ve ever baked with is store-bought, all-purpose flour, you’ll be amazed by the difference in flavor and consistency of our Unifine flours.

 

Curious how it works? 

 

Azure’s Unifine mill processes the entire bran, germ, and endosperm of the grain into a nutritious, whole-grain flour in one step. Instead of crushing or cutting the grain, the Unifine process uses a high-speed rotor with a single-pass impact system to instantly pulverize the kernels of grains, never subjecting them to the high temperatures common in regular grain milling. Using the entire grain without any heat means the valuable nutrients of ancient grains are retained, so the whole grain flours have longer shelf-life, better flavor, and more nutrition. In fact, Unifine flours are packed with many times the nutritional value than commercial roller-milled flours and stone ground flours — they contain almost four times as much dietary fiber, more than twice as much potassium, and three times as much magnesium. 

 

With the Unifine Milling process, the result is a texture lighter than traditional  flour, but with all the benefits of the whole grain and its natural oils. Unifine flours are ideal for fine-textured breads.

 

Note that Unifine flours require a little more liquid than other flours, because the oil molecule remains intact.
