NelstropsSpelt White
White spelt, 100% English grown, milled by a family firm trading since before the railways. The pack claims 12.4% protein and repeats the familiar spelt story: nutty flavour, easier to digest. The digestibility claim is folklore rather than science, but the practical point stands: spelt's gluten is weaker and more fragile than wheat gluten, so a dough built on this alone slackens if you mix or ferment it like a wheat dough. Handle it gently, keep hydration moderate, and either bake it as a specialty pie or blend 20 to 30% into a strong white for flavour without losing structure. Currently sold in a plain brown bag while a printed one is prepared.
