Hemp Flour, Fine High Protein
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
£3.99
| Nutritious Cannabis sativa seeds from British farms, milled and sieved to produce a fine tasty flour that’s 50% protein and 18% fibre. Add to smoothies or mix with other flour for nutrition and flavour. |
After pressing for oil the hemp meal is milled and sieved to produce flour that’s full of fibre, protein & other nutrients. The fine flour, also known as Hemp Protein, has a naturally very high protein content of 50% but less fibre than coarse hemp flour.
The contrasting nutritional content of the coarse and fine flour is the result of the protein content milling to a finer particle size than the fibre.
Hemp seeds are the nutritious seeds of varieties of Cannabis Sativa with no psychoactive THC content. They offer an ideal ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and are rich in plant-based proteins and fibre.
We're working with the British Hemp Company to offer a range of hemp seed products grown by their network of British hemp growers and processed at their base in Wiltshire.

Created by Vanessa Kimbell of the Sourdough School and blended here at the Bean Store from grains and seeds grown by UK farmers, this botanical base mix is designed for use in sweet and savoury sourdough baking.
Originally available as a blend of whole grains, seeds and flowers for home milling, Botanical Blend No, 2 is now available as flour, fresh from the Hodmedod mill.
Botanical Blend No. 2 is the first of several blends we plan to offer, all are the culmination of years of research by Vanessa into the workings of the gut microbiome, the process of wild yeast fermentation and the art of baking for flavour and nutrition.

PureOaty Oat Drink
£1.99 £4.49
| PureOaty oat drink is made at Glebe Farm in Cambridgeshire from gluten-free oats grown and milled on the farm. Creamy and with a naturally mild sweetness it makes a great alternative to dairy milk. |
The Rayners have farmed at Glebe Farm for over 50 years. Since 2005 Rebecca, her brother Philip, and the team have worked to grow and produce a range of gluten-free oat products.
PureOaty contains just four ingredients with no added sugar or stabilisers, and is not made from oat syrup or concentrate. Every batch is tested to ensure that gluten is under 5 parts per million, lower than the regulatory level of 20ppm for gluten-free products.
-
How to use
Ready to drink. Great for coffee, tea and other hot drinks. Also ideal for drinking cold, adding to breakfast cereals, or even for making ice cream.
For barista style coffee, gently heat the oat drink, froth with a handheld milk whisk or automatic frother to form a thick foam. The volume of the frothed drink will increase about 2.5 times. Add to hot coffee and serve.

The superb "Hodmedod" sourdough loaf is baked by Johnny Spillings at the Penny Bun Bakehouse in Lowestoft
The loaf is made with a blend of wholegrain YQ and white flour, a porridge of naked barley flakes and toasted wholegrain quinoa, all slow fermented with the Penny Bun sourdough starter. Once formed the loaves are coated with naked barley flakes and baked. The mild 'sour' flavour of the ferment is complemented by the sweet maltiness of the naked barley, nutty depth of the YQ and the rich, earthy, tang of toasted quinoa.
Sourdough loaves keep well (you'll have a good few days to eat your loaf after delivery) and freeze brilliantly.
*Add the loaf to your basket and complete your order as usual. No more than 50 loaves will be baked to order every Wednesday. Orders for Wednesday baking must be received by 8am on the Monday.

Wakelyns YQ Sourdough Tin Loaf
£4.20

Order bread to be baked on the day selected above* and dispatched on the same day for next-day delivery. Orders for Wednesday dispatch must be placed by 8am on the Monday. |
Wakelyns Bakery make bread that is sown, grown, harvested, milled and baked at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry. Each week the bakery produces very small batches of wholegrain bread, just enough for us to offer a few of their sustaining loaves, which have a complex nutty flavour and keep beautifully, through our website.
Henrietta Inman, who founded this unique field to loaf bakery, describes their work and the bread they bake with organic flour milled from grain grown on the farm:
We bake, cook and create at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry farm. Agroforestry, integrating alleys of trees between alleys of crops, is an incredibly diverse and therefore resilient and productive way of farming and food production. It is also very delicious and beautiful. We make use of the whole agroforestry system in our bakery kitchen, demonstrating the abundance of ingredients we have all around us.
Our wholegrain sourdough bread is made with the revolutionary YQ population wheat grown in the crop alleys. We save and sow the wheat seeds, harvest, mill and bake them here on the farm. We use timber from the tree alleys and solar panels outside the bakery to power our two wood-fired and electric ovens. Wholegrain flours contain all the goodness of flavour and nutrition from the whole grain of wheat. None of the grain goes to waste in the milling process. Sourdough, naturally leavened bread, is good for our guts and overall health. The fermentation process increases the nutrients available and creates very flavourful loaves, which we really hope you enjoy!
We love our YQ tin loaf toasted in the morning with local Fen Farm Dairy butter and jam made with fruits from the tree alleys; it’s great for sandwiches too and everything really. It keeps very well wrapped in the white paper it arrives in for at least 7 days. If it’s drying out, refresh it by dipping it in water and putting it back in the oven.

*Add the loaf to your basket and complete your order as usual. A small number loaves will be baked to order every Wednesday. Orders for Wednesday baking must be received by 8am on the Monday.
