Fava Beans Pulses

by Josiah Meldrum 2 Comments

Back in 2012 when we founded Hodmedod it was nigh on impossible to reliably find British-grown pulses in the shops – and the range was tiny.

Two years on and we’ve got 16 varieties of dried British peas and beans (plus 6 types of snack, 3 kinds in cans and, of course, our Essex quinoa).

It’s been a real pleasure working with everyone who has helped us to achieve this – farmers, retailers and everyone who has bought our peas and beans and convinced us that we’re not completely crazy to be doing this!

Thank you.

(And there’s lots more to come in 2015 – we can’t wait.)

Hi Sue. It’s the process, not the beans – at present our Roasted Fava Beans are produced on a line that also roasts peanuts so there is a risk of cross-contamination, which is why we have a warning about peanuts, nuts and sesame on our packs and website. Best wishes, Nick, Hodmedod

Can peanut allergic people eat roasted kava beans?? or is it in the process that causes cross contamination with peanuts.
Can you clarify is it the beans or the process. Thank you.
Sue

Pulses: why buy dry?

by Josiah Meldrum

Even with spiralling energy prices, cooking pulses from dried can save you money. We cooked dried whole yellow peas in a pressure cooker to make a delicious hummus style dip, measuring the peas before and after cooking, and calculating the energy used to cook them.

Miller's Choice - A New Wheat from Old Wheat

by Josiah Meldrum

Miller's Choice, a wheat population, was created over twelve years by Andrew Forbes of Brokewell Bake, using 19th century (and older) tall wheat varieties as a starting point. Its heritage means it's particularly well suited to low input farming systems and our Miller's Choice was grown organically by John and Alice Pawsey in Suffolk.

Eat Real Bread

As a nation we really love bread. It's a staple of almost all British households, with 12 million loaves baked and sold every day. At Hodmedod we’re a little more particular. We love real bread.
