spelt flour

Hulled wheat powder

Spelt flour is flour milled from spelt, an ancient grain related to wheat.

It has a slightly nutty, sweeter flavor than regular wheat flour and contains gluten, though some find it easier to digest.

Bakers use it in breads, muffins, and pastries, often substituting it partially or fully for all-purpose flour: I made the pancakes with spelt flour.
