Cooking instructions

Rinse, cover with 1½ to two parts water or stock for each 1 part quinoa, bring to the boil and then simmer on a very low heat for 15 minutes. The grains will absorb the water and swell to 2 to 3 times their original size. Fluff the grains apart with a fork.

Botanical Blend #2 - Meadow, Grist for milling

Sourdough School

£10.99

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

This product is a grist of whole grains &c for milling. Botanical Blend #2 is also available as freshly milled flour, ready to use in bread and baking.

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).

The Sourdough School: Botanical Blends information sheet is available as a free pdf download.

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.
