Spelt (wheat-free)
Spelt is an ancient, nutritious grain that has been grown in Europe for thousands of years. It is not as high yielding as wheat and sadly has fallen from favour as a commercial crop. Spelt has a more fragile gluten structure than wheat and is more easily digested. It also has more protein, fats and crude fibre.
This is a moist loaf that is an excellent substitute for wheat breads and is delicious in its own right. Spelt is a great alternative to wheat for people who have wheat intolerance. However, it is very similar to wheat and is therefore not suitable for people with a wheat allergy.
Ingredients: water, stoneground organic spelt flour, yeast, sea salt.

Power to the People – spelt with quinoa (wheat-free)
A tasty, moist loaf packed with protein and other nutrients. Quinoa is a seed native to the Andes with a complete protein. It offers more iron than most grains and contains high levels of other nutrients.
Spelt is a great alternative to wheat for people who have a wheat intolerance because it has a more fragile gluten structure and is more easily digested. However, it is very similar to wheat and is therefore not suitable for people with a wheat allergy.
Ingredients: water, stoneground organic spelt flour, organic quinoa, organic oats, organic olive oil, sea salt, yeast
