Spelt and Rye chapati flour blends older grains of rye and spelt to produce a tasty chapati, high in quality and with the softness and flexibility required for producing a great result.
Produced by Eurostar’s development team who trialled different grains and blends to create the optimum combination of rye and spelt the product is available in two chapati flour varieties: Medium brown and Wholemeal.
Rye and spelt give a rich hearty taste and retain a larger quantity of nutrients than other types of grains when milled. They’re a good source of fibre and minerals and are higher in protein than wheat flour. Because they are low GI the products are also good for diabetics.
Spelt is one of the oldest cultivated grains tracing is roots more than 6,000 years back to ancient Mesopotamia. Spelt has kept many of its original characteristics which provide an impressive nutritional profile, along with ease of digestibility and anti-inflammatory qualities.
Rye is also a very good source of dietary fibre, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin B1.
Medium brown and Wholemeal varieties are available in 2kg and 5kg bags.
