YQ Wheat, Organic Wholegrain

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£1.49 £2.69

Whole organic wheat grain from the revolutionary YQ population, grown at Home Farm, Nacton, Suffolk.

YQ wheat grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.

The YQ (Yield and Quality) wheat population was bred at Wakelyns Agroforestry by Professor Martin Wolfe and the Organic Research Centre. The population is a crop of extraordinary diversity that's emerged over time from a wide range of carefully chosen parent varieties, leading to fields of millions of genetically distinct individual wheat plants rather than the usual genetically uniform monocultures.

Emmer (Farro), Wholegrain

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£2.69

An ancestor of durum wheat, emmer was among the first cereals cultivated in the Fertile Crescent. It has a deliciously nutty flavour and can be eaten as a whole grain (farro) or ground into flour.

The grains make great alternative to rice, as a side or in risotto (farrotto?), or can be milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flour that makes superb bread and pasta.

Two other grains are occasionally used for farro and emmer or farro medio sits between smaller einkorn (farro piccolo) and larger spelt (farro grande). 

Our emmer is grown by Jeremy Dickin in Lincolnshire.

Naked Barley, Wholegrain

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£1.89 £2.69

Long before we ate modern wheat, naked barley sustained us. Well suited to our climate, Bronze Age farmers would be very familiar with this nutritious, malty cereal. Unlike most barley, where the inedible husk is tightly stuck to the grain, the husks fall off the naked barley grain when it's harvested and threshed, leaving the tasty and nutritious wholegrain ready to use.

The grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.

Wheat Grain, Mulika, Organic Wholegrain

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£1.49 £2.69

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 cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.

Our current batch of wheat is from a crop of Mulika variety, a spring wheat variety well suited for bread-making, being relatively hard / high in protein. It works best with a long fermentation for sourdough baking.

Rye, Organic Wholegrain

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£2.69

Closely related to wheat and barley, rye has a deep, distinctive flavour and can be eaten as a whole grain, ground into flour, or sprouted. The flour is traditionally used to make robust, close-textured breads.

Naked Oats, Wholegrain

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£1.99

These oat groats are 'naked' because the hull naturally falls away from the grain without threshing. Cooked whole they're great in pilafs, salads, stews and wholegrain porridge - or crush/mill them for baking.

Wakelyns YQ Wheat, Organic Wholegrain

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

£1.89 £2.69

Whole organic wheat grain from the revolutionary YQ population, grown at Wakelyns, the population's original home.

YQ wheat grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.

The YQ (Yield and Quality) wheat population was bred at Wakelyns Agroforestry by Professor Martin Wolfe and the Organic Research Centre. The population is a crop of extraordinary diversity that's emerged over time from a wide range of carefully chosen parent varieties, leading to fields of millions of genetically distinct individual wheat plants rather than the usual genetically uniform monocultures.

Pioneering Suffolk research farm Wakelyns was established in 1994 by our friend and mentor the late professor Martin Wolfe to test and develop agroforesty 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. Read more about Wakelyns...
