Wakelyns Whole Black Lentils, Organic
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
Sorry, not available right now
| Wakelyns organic lentils are back! We're excited to have these very special Black Lentils, grown and harvested in 2021. Like our Coral and Olive Lentils these are a traditional French variety best eaten whole. Because they're so rare these lentils are only available in 300g packs. |
Back in the late summer of 2017 we harvested the first commercial crop of British-grown lentils at Wakelyns Agroforestry after several years of trials, an experimental mixture of varieties - a mottled green lentil (the same variety as is grown in Le Puy-en-Velay, in France) and a gun-metal grey lentil (also widely grown in France).
Pioneering Suffolk research farm Wakelyns was established in 1994 by our friend and mentor the late professor Martin Wolfe to test and develop agroforestry approaches that integrate annual crops (like lentils and cereals) with trees and other perennial plants.
Martin aimed to increase diversity in fields and between fields, an approach that increases overall yields and ensures the farm is better able to cope with climatic variability, pest and disease pressures and is less dependent on inputs, like fertiliser, from outside the farm.

Our Wakelyns Lentils have a superb peppery, nutty flavour and firm texture. They're great in soups, stews, curries and salad.
Cooking instructions
Rinse the lentils in a sieve, check for small stones, and place in a pan with plenty of fresh water water. Bring to the boil, simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
Don't over-cook - taste the lentils toward the end of the cooking process. To make a salad or a cold lentil dish drench the lentils in cold water immediately after cooking, this will stop them cooking further and ensure they stay nice and firm.

Try Rye!
This beautiful dark rye loaf keeps really well for about 10 days. It’s rich, soft and with a deep flavour from the sourdough fermentation process and the freshly milled grains. Enjoy it with everything from butter and jam to smoked fish and cheese.
Rye grows wonderfully well in northern Europe, and rye bread has long been a staple in Scandanavia, Germany, Poland and other central and eastern European countries. It was once much more widely eaten in the UK too, but fell out of favour - which is a pity, because the deep flavours that develop with long fermentation and slow baking really are superb. Maisie and Henrietta at Wakelyns Bakery love rye and are baking loaves with locally grown grains, here's what they say about their delicious wholegrain rye loaves:
"We love using as many diverse grains as we can in our bakery - wheat, buckwheat, naked oats, quinoa, barley, and now rye, and more. We hope that having this diversity of traceably sourced ingredients in our bakery can only be a positive act, giving farmers a route to market for their delicious food, and creating the demand for more.
As well as being higher in fibre than wheat and with a very different and distinct flavour, we also love rye because our soils love it too. It has a great root network and so can act as a cover crop to get organic matter back into the soil and promote soil beneficial microbes, as well as producing food - you can get the grain off the top too. Nature’s double-whammy-win-wins are endless! Rye grows high! And so it competes with weeds as well, another great bonus for agroecological farmers who use no herbicides. It’s often ready sooner than wheat too, so a good way to spread out the harvest. It’s pretty rye-dical!
We love it in cakes, biscuits and pastry as well as bread, and we really hope that you love it too!"
Wakelyns Bakery make bread 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.
*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.

Miller's Choice, Organic Wholegrain
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
Sorry, not available right now
Wheat is one of the most common foods but whole wheat grains - sometimes known as wheatberries - are surprisingly rarely used. They're a versatile, tasty and nutritious ingredient that brings the full flavour of wheat, whether used whole or freshly milled.
The grains can be soaked, cooked and eaten whole, but our current spring wheat is best suited for milling at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) an makes a flavoursome and nutritious flour.
This Miller's Choice population was created by Andrew Forbes of Brockwell Bake by selecting for the long, lax ear of Red Lammas, the King of English milling wheats up to the mid 19th century, from John Letts’ heritage population.
Grown in Suffolk by John and Alice Pawsey.

Flanders Wheat Flour, Stoneground Wholemeal
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
£3.99

Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is ideal for baking, pastry and cakes.
Protein: 13.12%

Botanical Flour - #2 Meadow Blend
£6.99
|
14 grains, seeds, pulses and flowers reflecting the diversity of crop and wild plants one might find in and by a field. This is a freshly milled flour, ready to use in your bread and bakes. Botanical Blend #2 is also available as a grist of whole grains &c for home milling. |
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. They reflect the diversity we need to see in fields and in our diets.
Any home baker can mill and add the blend to their bakes, bringing extra fragrance, flavour and nutrition. However, the blend is best used in conjunction with The Sourdough School: Sweet Baking which can be bought separately (with a £5 Hodmedod voucher) or with the blend (without a Hodmedod voucher, but with a £6 discount).
The Sourdough School: Botanical Blends information sheet is available as a free pdf download.

Wakelyns Bakery at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry 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 and at Turners of Bytham in Lincolnshire, where Edgar wheat is also grown for the bread. At Wakelyns 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.
