Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
£1.99
These oat groats are 'naked' because the hull naturally falls away from the grain without threshing. They're a superb alternative to brown rice, quicker to cook and with a creamier texture and richer flavour.
Our naked oat groats are grown on farms that also grow and harvest wheat, barley and other cereals. As such we can't be sure there won't occasionally be wheat or other cereals present. If you're looking for gluten free oats we do, when available, have oat flakes grown and processed on a farm that doesn't grow or handle other cereals.
Add cooked, or if cooking time allows, dry grains to salads, stews and casseroles.
Rinse, bring to the boil then simmer until tender (about 35 - 45 minutes). Speed up cooking by pre-soaking for a few hours.

Naked barley is back! Our new batch of wholegrain naked barley is from a superb crop of the Oak Ruby variety, bred by Edward Dickin and grown by his father Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire. |
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 whole grain intact and ready to cook or mill.
The grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a table-top Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.
Add cooked naked barley - or if cooking time allows, dry grains - to soups, stews and casseroles.
Add cooked or toasted grains to salads.
Mill uncooked naked barley grains to produce a tasty and versatile flour.
Rinse, bring to the boil then simmer until tender (about 45 minutes). Speed up cooking by pre-soaking for a few hours.

Naked barley is back - and now it's pearled too! Our new batch of naked barley is from a superb crop of the Oak Ruby variety, bred by Edward Dickin and grown by his father Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire. For the first time we've had some pearled so it's quicker and easier to cook. |
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 whole grain intact and ready to cook or mill. Pearling removes some of the inner hull so the grain cooks more readily.
The grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a table-top Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.
Add cooked pearled naked barley - or if cooking time allows, dry grains - to soups, stews and casseroles.
Add cooked or toasted grains to salads.
Mill uncooked naked barley grains to produce a tasty and versatile flour.
Place the barley in a pan, cover with plenty of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and serve or add to soups or stews.
Or substitute for Arborio rice for a variation on risotto.

Whole wheat grains for cooking whole or to use as a grist for home milling. (Looking for Flanders Wheat Flour instead?) 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 wheat is grown by Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire.
Wheat is one of the most common foods but whole wheat grains – or wheatberries – are rarely used. But they're a versatile, tasty and nutritious ingredient with the full flavour of wheat, whole or freshly milled.
To cook as a whole grain: Rinse, bring to the boil, then simmer until tender (about 45 minutes). Speed up cooking by pre-soaking for a few hours.

Whole wheat grains for cooking whole or to use as a grist for home milling, grown at The Fold in Worcestershire. (Looking for Maris Widgeon Wheat Flour instead?) |
Maris Widgeon is a long straw wheat developed in the 1960s and popular with both millers and thatchers.
It’s making a 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.
