The Priors Spelt Flour from Foster's Mill is made from Spelt grain from Hills Farm Partnership, Manor Farm, Bradenham, Norfolk. Spelt is a variety of wheat which is related to wheat grown in Roman times. It is genetically different from modern varieties of wheat and has a different type of ear, leaf system and stalk height. The wheat grains are protected by a coarse husk which has to be removed in a de-hulling process before the grain is fit to mill. Occasionally, you will find some small pieces of the coarse husk in the flour as the process is not perfect!
