Emmer Wheat – Flour 1kg

Real flour as it used to be…unchanged for thousands of years! Non-hybridised – no nasties or chemicals added (unlike much of today’s flour). Biodynamically grown in Australia by a 5th generation family farm and stoneground on demand. This all-purpose, delicious flour can be substituted in any recipe where plain flour is required but does absorb more moisture so you may need to lower the recipe’s flour content slightly to accommodate the difference. With a savoury and nutty taste, this flour is great in traditional and herb breads, pizza bases, rolls, muffins, cakes and slices. Storage instructions:  To prolong the freshness of Emmer Wheat, it must be kept in the fridge or freezer.

It wasn’t until Dr William Davies wrote his book Wheat Belly that Cyndi learned that the growing prevelance of gluten intolerances was not just about the amount of wheat being eaten, but also what had been done to the wheat plant and to the composition of the wheat grain. Since the introduction of the new wheat grain (modified by humans), more and more people are finding that wheat is intolerable to them. Changing Habits wanted to offer those who could tolerate gluten a flour that allowed them to cook bread, cakes and muffins without compromising their health. Emmer Wheat is a traditional heirloom wheat grain, a variety of wheat that was used during earlier periods of history. It has not been manipulated or hybridised (a cross pollination of plants) by modern methods. Our Australian supplier biodynamically grows the wheat without artificial chemicals and using a holistic system, including the use of manure and compost. This way of farming produces a rich soil, which in turn produces a nutritious product.  Grown and stoneground in Australia.

“I would like to give you some feedback on Changing Habits new Emmer flour – it is beautiful, much lighter and easier to work with for my son’s banana bread. The very best of flours!!!” – Denise
