£2.99

The new 2019 harvest of British-grown chia seeds is now in, packed and ready to go!

These versatile and nutritious seeds are delicious sprinkled on salads, added to smoothies or in baking. They make a great vegan egg replacement too.

Botanical Blend #2 - Meadow

Sourdough School

£29.99 £35.99

14 grains, seeds, pulses and flowers reflecting the diversity of crop and wild plants one might find in and by a field.

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 home milling and use in sweet and savoury sourdough baking.

Botanical Blend No2 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).

This mix has been created for home milling and baking, every box of Botanical Blend No2 - Meadow comes with a printed information sheet from the Sourdough School. You can download the information sheet here.
