Sifting spelt flour

Question

Shalom, Rabbi,
 Is it necessary to sift spelt flour (as one does with wheat flour)?
 With blessings and thanks

Answer

Shalom u-vracha 

It should be sifted. 

[There are many types of pre-sifted flour on the market, in sealed bags, so they do not require re-sifting].
