I occasionally see recipes with a mix of flours/grains like ww, oatmeal, and some spelt.

First of all, do I have to use spelt, or can I sub any flour?

Secondly, is all spelt whole-grain? I saw white spelt at Whole Foods today, next to an organic spelt. The organic was a little pricier but the nutrition looked about the same. Does anyone know if it makes a difference?

Thanks.

Wow, long time no see!

i have no idea on the flower, are you sure you "spelt" it right? lol- i made a funny.
 
Yes, it's a whole-grain flour. It's a type of wheat that contains slightly less gluten. It may better for people with gluten sensitivity. People with wheat (not gluten) allergies can tolerate this better.

For general health, it's comparable to regular wheat.
 
Isn't it the case that you can get either whole grain or non-whole grain spelt flour, just like with regular wheat flour?
