things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of spelt flour?
  About 2 g for a level teaspoon. That's roughly the amount you'd whisk into a tablespoon of cold water to slurry-thicken a single-serving sauce, or dust onto a proofing basket to keep a small spelt boule from sticking. Heaping teaspoons creep toward 3 g, which matters more across multiple spoonfuls than in one.
• Can I feed a sourdough starter with a teaspoon of spelt flour?
  Sourdough bakers often add 1-2 teaspoons of spelt to a wheat or rye starter feed to see how the ferment responds. Spelt's wild yeast and enzyme load tend to wake a sluggish starter — you'll usually see a bubble bump within a few hours. Keep the test small so you can revert if the flavor turns too earthy.
• Is spelt flour gluten-free?
  No. Spelt is an ancient wheat species and contains gluten — even one teaspoon is unsafe for someone with celiac disease. Some people with non-celiac wheat sensitivity report tolerating spelt better than modern bread wheat, possibly because of its different gluten structure, but that's an individual response. For a true gluten-free swap, use rice, sorghum, or oat flour instead.
