PROBIO – Spelt Flour Semi-Coarse – Pourable and Beaten Doughs, Delicate Nutty Flavour
Spelt Flour Semi-Coarse is a medium-milled organic flour made from spelt (Triticum spelta) for everyday and festive baking. It offers a pure taste of the original grain and reliable dough handling.
It excels in pourable and beaten doughs – for bundt cakes, gingerbreads, fruit cakes, poppy seed cakes, and yeast buns. It is equally suitable for pies and homemade pastries with an airy, slightly coarse crumb.
Spelt is one of the oldest grains and brings a full, slightly nutty flavour. It naturally contains proteins, minerals, and vitamins of the B group; its fibre is generally well tolerated.
Semi-coarse milling gives the dough support and promotes even baking. The pastry then holds its shape, is fluffy, and retains the delicate texture favoured in traditional recipes.
PROBIO emphasizes gentle processing and grain quality. The result is consistent baking performance and the characteristic, slightly nutty flavour of spelt in every piece.
Did you know?
- Spelt is a "hulled" grain – the grain retains a firm husk until hulling, which protects the kernel during harvest. It is hulled after harvest, helping to preserve the clean, slightly nutty flavour.
- Spelt gluten is more fragile and the dough is more elastic. It requires less kneading and gentler handling – hence semi-coarse spelt flour excels in pourable and beaten doughs, where it holds shape and remains fluffy.
- Medium granulation of semi-coarse flour binds liquid evenly. In bundt cakes and fruit cakes, it reduces the risk of a dense crumb and supports even baking. Tip: with spelt, often less mixing is needed than with regular wheat.

- Reliable performance in pourable and creamed batters – holds its shape, bakes to a golden colour and helps achieve even rising in bundt cakes, sweet yeast buns and other cakes.
- Nutritionally richer profile than wheat – spelt naturally offers more protein, selected minerals and B-group vitamins than regular wheat flour.
- Supple dough thanks to fibre – spelt fibre is generally better tolerated; doughs are pliable, baked goods tender and the flavour well balanced.

How does spelt differ from regular wheat?
Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an older subspecies of wheat and belongs to hulled grains, so the grain is protected by a natural husk until milling. Thanks to this, spelt flour has a pure aroma and a slightly nutty taste, which stands out in baked goods.
Compared to regular wheat, spelt has a gentler gluten, making the dough softer, rising faster and forming a lighter structure, but holding its shape less. Spelt flour absorbs liquid better, so it's often necessary to slightly adjust the amount of water or fat in the recipe.
From a nutritional perspective, spelt is naturally richer in proteins, minerals, and B vitamins, making the dough feel softer and the resulting spelt baked goods have a more pronounced taste than traditional wheat products.
Types of flours we offer
- Plain Wheat flour – versatile for delicate doughs, cakes, and thickening; smooth texture and reliable rising.
- Finely Grounded Whole Rye Flour – ideal for sourdough and yeast bread; higher fiber content, rustic aroma, and flexible crumb.
- Raw coconut flour from Ceylon – naturally gluten-free; rich in fiber, suitable for desserts, pancakes, and gluten-free baking.
- Raw Flour from Green Bananas – naturally gluten-free; neutral taste, great for baking, thickening, and porridges.

Who is behind PROBIO
The company PROBIO was founded in the 90s by Ing. Martin Hutař and Ing. Karel Matěj, who decided to focus on the production of organic food. The small company has grown into the largest organic food producer in the Czech Republic with more than 120 employees, three organic mills and its own organic farm.
They focus on traditional crops such as spelt and buckwheat and bring them to modern customers in the form of quality organic food, including gluten-free products produced in a certified mill.
The vision of PROBIO is to promote organic farming and protect the planet for future generations. They are bringing traditional crops back into the menu and linking production with education, for example through excursions and annual Biosavings.
Their combination of ecology, quality and tradition makes them a pioneer of organic food in the Czech Republic.
The exceptionality of traditional crops
Since its establishment, the company PROBIO has focused on the processing of traditional crops that were a common part of Czech agriculture in the past. These crops include, for example, spelt, buckwheat, single or double grain.
These ingredients not only enrich the diet, but thanks to their rich nutritional composition they are real "superfoods".
PROBIO brings these forgotten treasures back into our lives and at the same time supports organic farming, which is kind to nature and preserves healthy soil and water for future generations.
Inspiration for customers
PROBIO brings its customers not only a wide range of organic food, but also new options to enrich their daily diet.
Through original mixes such as barley fritters or buckwheat gingerbread, they introduce customers to lesser-known but nutritious foods. These mixtures are prepared to make it easy and quick to prepare tasty dishes.
PROBIO thus becomes an inspiration for everyone who wants to discover new tastes and at the same time support a healthier and more sustainable way of eating.
From spelt to Czech superfoods
Spelled was one of the first crops that PROBIO returned to the Czech fields, and to this day it is a symbol of their efforts to restore traditional agricultural values.
The experience of our ancestors inspired society to further develop and discover crops that were once a common part of the diet - buckwheat, single or double grain.
These crops, now called 'superfoods', are rich in nutrients and bring not only a variety of flavours but also significant health benefits.
Under the brand PROBIO you will find a whole range of these products, either in the form of basic ingredients or easily prepared mixtures. Each product is associated with a love for the land and respect for nature, which gives Czech superfoods a uniqueness you won't find elsewhere.
PROBIO thus brings traditional values into modern cuisine and inspires a return to a natural way of eating.

The company PROBIO is a pioneer of organic farming in the Czech Republic and builds its commitment to sustainability on solid foundations. All of the company's activities are aimed at protecting nature, soil, water and the health of the planet.
He farms on his own organic farm in Hostěrádky, where crops are grown with respect to the natural balance of ecosystems. PROBIO also supports family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic, from which it takes quality raw materials for the production of its organic food.
The company's certifications confirm its high standards of quality and environmental responsibility. All products carry the organic label and meet strict requirements for organic farming and sustainable production.
In addition, the products from the gluten-free mill are marked with the crossed-out log symbol, which guarantees safety for people with gluten intolerance.

Return of the spelt to the Czech fields
In the 1990s, PROBIO revived the cultivation of spelled, which was almost forgotten at the time.
Thanks to close collaboration with gene banks and our own research, we have been able to reintroduce this cereal and demonstrate its unique properties.
Today, spelt, along with products such as flour and pasta, is the mainstay of their offer.
