A must have for elevating your everyday baking, Flourist Sifted Spelt Flour is milled from organically grown Spelt Spring wheat from Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. Use our sifted spelt flour instead of all purpose flour to increase flavour and nutrition.
Our Organic Sifted Spelt Flour has an extraction rate of 66%.
Spelt is an ancient grain that was popular in Europe for centuries, especially in Germany, where it has been grown since 4,000 BCE and was by far the dominant wheat variety until the end of the 19th century.
As modern farming techniques arose in the 20th century, Spelt farming fell out of common practice around the world. This is because Spelt grains have a hard outer shell that must be removed before milling or cooking. But a renewed interest in ancient grains and their nutritional value has once again made it economical for farmers to plant Spelt.
Long prized for its very high protein content, Spelt lends a nutty aroma and flavour and soft, airy feel to breads and other baked goods.
Organic and GMO free. We recommend storing our fresh flours in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness.
Our Philosophy
Traceable food is trustworthy food.
Flourist was co-founded in 2013 by Janna Bishop and Shira McDermott, a clothing designer and food industry pro respectively, to fill what they saw as a gap in the growing farm to table movement, and to provide supply chain transparency in a whole new food category.
We focus on grains because that’s where we can make the most impact — it’s a cornerstone of kitchens globally. Grains allow us to go big, to give a lot of people access to high quality, nourishing food. Traceable food is trustworthy food.
Our vertically-integrated supply chain connects Canadian farmers directly to people who value quality and craft. Together, we're creating food security for future generations.
