Availability of SPELT flour in Canada?
 

Does anyone in this NG happen to know where I might obtain spelt flour
on the west coast of BC, Canada?

Thanks.

Have you tried any of the health-food/whole-food stores that sell bulk
items? Here, in Calgary, we have a couple that stock spelt flour, both
whole and white. I would have thought that Vancouver would have had scores
of stores of this type.

Have you tried Choices or Capers?

I saw various flours at Choices supermarket.
Good luck!

It's widely available in Vancouver, Choices, Capers, Famous Foods and I
think lots of other places.

Thanks to all who responded to my request. Unfortunately, at least as
far as obtaining Spelt is concerned, when I said the West Coast, I
should have said Powell River, about 80 miles and 2 ferry rides north
of Vancouver. We're pretty remote and VERY limited in availability of
much other than the very basics.

There is one health food store; I'm just concerned about freshness of
the spelt, if they actually have it.

However, the peace and serenity, ocean views, and available fresh
seafood is out of this world!! Just don't tell anyone else!!

Cheers.

I just saw this weekend, to my surprise, bulk spelt flour at the
Galiano Market, 30 miles and one ferry ride from Vancouver. :-)

Cheers,

Darrell

Great! Now, just where IS the Galiano Market?

Cheers.

Proably on the Sechelt peninsula somewhere.

Can I make sourdough without spelt? We are on the east coast, and I do
not believe there is any such market or peninsula around here.

97 Georgeson Bay Rd. Galiano Island, B.C.

The surprise is that a small market serving a rural community of under
1000 had spelt flour.

I'm not surprised. Spelt users on the Gulf Islands are measured in
users per hectare, while on the mainland, its users per square km. ;-)
