Ancient grain

Spelt

Gently nutty and slightly sweet, with a soft texture that brings tenderness to both breads and baking.

Nutty Tender Ancient grain
When to choose it

Best for: Cakes, pastries, cookies, muffins, pancakes, tortillas, tender breads, and quick breads.

Spelt is a wonderful bridge into ancient-grain baking. Its gluten is more delicate, so mix gently and avoid overworking the dough.

Ancient grain

Einkorn

Rich, buttery, and naturally golden, with unmistakable flavour and a very tender crumb.

Buttery Golden Delicate
When to choose it

Best for: Cookies, pancakes, muffins, cakes, quick breads, and rustic breads.

Einkorn rewards a lighter hand. Its gluten structure is delicate, but its flavour makes it especially beautiful in recipes where the grain gets to shine.

Rye

Earthy and distinctive, adding complexity, moisture, and wonderful depth even when used as part of a blend.

Earthy Deep flavour Sourdough favourite
When to choose it

Best for: Rye bread, sourdough, crackers, crispbreads, and blending into artisan loaves.
