    On One Hand: Spelt Is A Healthy Flour

    Spelt is a flour that is manufactured without wheat. It is higher in protein than wheat flour, lower in calories, high in vitamin B and a good source of protein. Spelt can be substituted for wheat flour in many recipes. The carbohydrates in spelt flour are said to benefit the immune system.

    On the Other: There Are Drawbacks

    While spelt flour can be substituted for wheat flour, it has different properties that can affect the outcome of a recipe. You may have to go through a "trial and error" period when cooking with spelt because overmixing can lead to bad results. Spelt also has less fiber than wheat flour and is much more expensive.

    Bottom Line

    Spelt is a good, healthy flour and can be substituted for wheat flour, depending on the recipe. It is also good for people who may be allergic or sensitive to wheat products. If you're willing to pay a little more and experiment with it, spelt is a good alternative to wheat flour.
