| Wholegrain wheat from the revolutionary YQ population, grown at Hope Farm in Cambridgeshire, a farm that gives nature space to thrive. Our Hope Farm YQ Wheat Grain is RSPB Fair to Nature Certified - find out more at fairtonature.org |
This grain is revolutionary! It's from a crop of the YQ (Yield and Quality) wheat population 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.
Too many farmland species are under threat from intensive farming, yet farming needs healthy wildlife to secure food production for the future. The RSPB’s Fair to Nature scheme is helping to make space on farms for birds, bees, butterflies, wildflowers, and more.
YQ wheat grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.

This wheat behaves in a similar manner to their Flanders Wheat berries. As there is no nutritional information regarding the protein levels, I can only assume it is at a similar level to that of Flanders. I may be wrong though.
Why 4 stars? My first order was a combination of Flanders & YQ. One of the bags had ripped during transit. I will be ordering from Hodmedods again👍

Really great to have Hodmedod recipes in book form now, excited to delve into different recipes (starting with a ful medames), lots of exciting things to try and historical nuggets of information!
Great healthy and tasty bread collection. I keep them in the freezer and eat them over a month. I will keep ordering them
This book is truly a gem. The knowledge and wisdom contained within is inspirational. It deserves to be on nearly everyone's kitchen book-shelf. For the seasoned wholefood cook it can add further rich and often imaginative choices. For the less well-practised cook, it can educate, motivate and encourage. As we travel into colder months ahead, just opening the book and seeing the first recipe (Barley & Oat Gruel with Brown Butter Leeks) is enough to galvanise one into Autumn/Winter cooking action! So, simply thank you Hodmedod's.
Made a batch of traditional recipe hummus using these red fox carlin peas and couldn't have been more delighted. Much nicer than chick peas imo, tastier and with a good meaty texture.I wouldn't go back to chick peas (which seem to be getting harder to find from a trustworthy source) again, the carlin pea is my go-to now.
An amazing recipe book that highlights ancient beans and grains from the UK that can be used to make delicious food. The beautiful illustrations and design are a bonus!
