SPELT FLOUR: Spelt is an ancient grain and is one of the three original wheat varieties from which modern day wheats are derived. Whilst a member of the same grain family, Spelt is a completely different species. Spelt is an extremely popular grain now, and its use has been growing over many years, as information about its value as a food source, and its ability to be tolerated by many people with wheat sensitivities becomes more widely known. Although Spelt contains gluten, it is much easier to digest than other wheat varieties, and may be suitable for people with wheat or gluten intolerances. White or Wholemeal Spelt, Organic or Sustainable, it is one of the healthiest bread making flours you can use. Spelt is suitable for breads, cakes, pancakes, biscuits, pasta, pastries and most baking needs. Product of Australia.
KAMUT (KHORASAN) FLOUR: An ancient grain ideal for breads, biscuits, cakes, muffins, pancakes, noodles and is excellent for pasta. Suitable for people who are sensitive to wheat even though it contains gluten. It contains 0% fructose which makes it ideal for people who have fructose malabsorption issues. Organic white or wholemeal kamut available.
Product of Australia.

SUSTAINABLE FLOUR: In simplest terms, sustainable agriculture is the production of food, fibre, or other plant or animal products using farming techniques that protect the environment, public health, human communities, and animal welfare. Some of the most common techniques used in sustainable agriculture include:
- No detectable chemical residues in harvested grain
- No-till farming system
- No in-crop spraying with any herbicides, insecticides or fungicides
- No stubble burning
- Ancient wheat varieties selected for baking quality, flavour and human health benefits
- 100% Australian grown
The ancient wheats grown by Sustainable Farmers of Australia have not been breed or modernised in any way, they are in their original ancient form. Simply No Knead sources its Sustainable (Non-organic) Spelt Flour, Kamut/Khorasan, Buckwheat Flour and Buckwheat Kernels from Australian farmers and fully endorse the high quality products grown by sustainable farmers of Australia.
