Baked goods made from the ancient grain spelt meet the consumer demand for nutritionally valuable products. Puratos has a comprehensive new spelt assortment in its programme.

Baked goods made from spelt are more popular than ever. They are considered particularly healthy due to their higher content of vitamins and minerals, are perceived as easier to digest and score points with their nutty, strong taste. Spelt is one of the best-known and most popular ancient grains. With the new, extensive spelt range from Puratos, it should be easy to make tasty baked goods.

Baked goods made from ancient grains taste good and meet the growing consumer demand for nutritionally valuable and more sustainable foods. Kirsten Zabel, Marketing Manager at Puratos, explains: “To make baking with spelt easier and to enable a round and particularly aromatic taste of the baked goods, we have developed a new, coordinated range. Our products are easy to process and ensure longer freshness of spelt baked goods. This makes it even easier for bakeries to integrate baked goods with spelt into their range and to stand out from competitors”.

The new, liquid and ready-to-use sourdough “Vitus Dinkel” from Puratos can be used in a variety of flexible ways, for example for bread, biscuits, toast or pretzels. The sourdough is characterized by a slightly smoky note, which is created by the interaction of wholemeal spelt flour, smoked spelt flour and spelt malt flour. The producer developed the spelt sourdough in Germany, uses 100 % spelt grain of German origin and does not use any declarable additives. Thus, “Vitus Dinkel” meets the consumer’s desire for regionality as well as for clean(er) labels.

Another new product from Puratos is the clean(er) label baking agent “S500 Dinkelbrötchen CL”. It is suitable for the production of small spelt baked goods and can be used with all common types of guides and ovens. Due to its high malt content, the baked goods get an appetizing malty taste and smell. The producer’s latest enzyme technology, inspired by nature, offers a high level of safety and tolerance throughout the entire production process when using the baking agent.

The Puratos spelt range is rounded off by the ready-to-use spelt grains “Softgrain Spelt CL” cooked in liquid sourdough. They give baked goods and especially spelt biscuits an appealing texture and appearance and, thanks to the refinement with sourdough, a particularly pleasant flavour. According to the supplier, they also increase the content of vitamins, minerals and fibre in the end product. Another plus: Puratos spelt grains naturally prolong the freshness of baked goods by gradually releasing the absorbed liquid back into the baked goods. “Softgrain Spelt CL” also meets the consumer demand for clean(er) labels as well as for nutritionally valuable and enjoyable food.
