Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

Once popular with millers and bakers, Flanders is quite unlike any other British wheat, being soft but with good bread making qualities. |
Flanders is a winter-sown medium-straw wheat, grown in Britain in the 1970s and 80s but now almost extinct.
Our Flanders flour is stone-milled in small batches through our own stone mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from Flanders variety wheat grown by Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire.
Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is ideal for baking, pastry and cakes.
Protein: 13.12%
Hagberg: 283
Stoneground wholegrain Flanders variety wheat flour is an excellent soft but quality flour, perfect for biscuits and pastries, it can also be used for bread making, especially baguettes (after all it is of French ancestry).

Wholemeal emmer flour, stone-milled in small batches through our own mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from emer grown by Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire. |
Atle is a high quality spring-sown bread-making wheat variety, first grown in Sweden in 1936 and popular in Britain in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is suitable for yeasted and sourdough breads, pastry and cakes.
Our current batch of Emmer is 18.3% protein with a Hagberg falling number of 291.
Domesticated in the Fertile Crescent (probably present day Turkey or Syria) from a wild wheat at least 10,000 years ago, Emmer has a genuine claim to being an ancient grain. Along with Einkorn it was a staple in the Bronze and Iron Age, but over millennia and as new varieties were selected by farmers, it became confined to isolated often mountainous regions of Asia and Europe.
Emmer fell out of favour because, like its ancient cousins Spelt and Einkorn, it doesn't thresh easily and so after harvest an extra process is required to remove the grain from the ear. The Italians continued to prize it for its flavour and use as a wholegrain for farro, and more recently it's been discovered by a wider audience - by farmers because it fits well into low-input systems and by home cooks and bakers because of its nutty flavour, nutritional profile and gluten profile - which many who struggle with modern wheats find more digestible.
Perfect for bread making and baking.

Wholemeal naked barley flour, stone-milled in small batches through our own mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from barley grown at Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire. |
Naked barleys are varieties of barley, Hordeum vulgare, that naturally shed their inedible husks so that the whole grain can be milled or eaten without losing any of the flavour or nutrition.
Wholegrain Naked Barley Flour is nutritious, versatile and flavoursome, faintly earthy with a delicate sweet aftertaste.

Wholemeal organic einkorn flour, stone-milled in small batches through our own mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from einkorn grown at Carr House Farm in Yorkshire. |
Einkorn is a domesticated early wild ancestor of wheat with husks that tightly enclose the grains. It was one of the first plants to be domesticated and cultivated as an arable crop. It's low yielding but requires minimal inputs and can grow on poor soils and marginal land.
Sometimes known as littlespelt in English, the more commonly used German name einkorn literally means "one grain" as each spikelet contains just a single grain.
Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is suitable for yeasted and sourdough breads, pastry and cakes.
Our current batch of Einkorn is 12.3% protein with a Hagberg falling number of 367.
Perfect for bread making and baking.

Wholemeal wheat flour, stone-milled in small batches through our own mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from Maris Widgeon wheat grown by Mark Lea at Green Acres Farm in Shropshire. |
One of the last tall wheats to be bred in the UK at the Plant Breeding Institute's famous Maris Lane research centre in Cambridge. 'Maris' featured in the names of many of the grains and vegetables developed there - including our Maris Bead fava beans which were relased at around the same time in the 1960s.
Though popular with bakers and thatchers (who prized its straw), Maris Widgeon was all but replaced by modern short wheats in the 1970s and 80s. It's making a modest comeback as bakers rediscover its flavour and quality and farmers pick up on its modest requirements and weed competitiveness.
Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is ideal for breads, pastry and cakes.
Our current batch of Maris Widgeon Wheat is 12.34% protein with a Hagberg falling number of 315.
Perfect for bread making and baking.

Wholemeal wheat flour, stone-milled in small batches through our own mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from Hen Gymro variety wheat grown by Mark Lea at Green Acres Farm in Shropshire. |
Hen Gymro or 'Old Welsh', is a landrace wheat once widely grown in Wales and well suited to the wetter climate. It gradually disapeared from cultivation in the first half of the 20th century to be replaced by shorter modern wheats that responded well to synthetic nitrogen and produced a high yield.
Genetically diverse, adaptive and well suited to poorer soils and organic systems, Hen Gymro has been brought back form functional extinction (it existed only in seed banks) by Andy Forbes of The Brockwell Bake Association and the Welsh Grain Forum and is now being grown on a handful of farms in Wales and bordering counties.
Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is ideal for breads, pastry and cakes.
Our current batch of Hen Gymro Wheat is 13.2% protein with a Hagberg falling number of 382.
Perfect for bread making and baking.

Wholemeal wheat flour, stone-milled in small batches through our own mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from Khorasan x Rivet wheat grown by Ed and Jeremy Dickin in Lincolnshire. |
Khorasan wheat probably originated in what is now Turkey, Iran or Afghanistan (though possibly not Khorasan province), it would have been widely grown for several thousand years. It has large grains, a delicious flavour and is more nutritious than modern wheats.
But it's incredibly difficult to grow in the UK. Our friend and collaborator Dr Edward Dickin has crossed Khorasan with Rivet wheat (a related variety that grows incrediby well here - in fact it was once simply called English Wheat).
Both Khorasan and Rivet are related to Durum wheat - which, like Khorasan, doesn't grow well here. Our hope was that Ed's cross would grow well here and make a fantastic pasta flour. It certainly does the latter, but it's not as easy to grow as we'd hoped!
Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is ideal for pasta, though can also be used in bread, cakes and pastry.
Our current batch of Khorasan x Rivet Wheat is 16.24% protein with a Hagberg falling number of 398.
Perfect for bread making and baking.
