White Spelt
B tier
White spelt refers to lighter-bran spelt types or more refined spelt flour colour—milder appearance than dark wholemeal Dinkel, still with spelt’s nutty gluten behaviour. Marketing term as much as strict genetics. Use when a lighter crumb colour is wanted from spelt flour. Whole white-spelt berries cook like other spelt.
