Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

In 2017 this South American favourite was grown in Somerset for the first time. With a distinctively nutty flavour and striking rich colour it makes a great contrast to white quinoa, either alone or mixed together.
Like our white Wholegrain Quinoa it's easy to cook and perfect for salads, as a side dish, in soups and stews, or for baking.
Hodmedod's red quinoa is grown by Emily Addicott Sauvao in Somerset.
Why not try our Wholegrain White Quinoa, Smoked Quinoa, Quinoa Flour, Quinoa Flakes, Quinoa Puffs? We also offer bulk & wholesale British Quinoa. |

Red quinoa is tasty, nutritious, versatile and easy to cook in just the same way as white quinoa.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Hemp seeds are a delicious, nutritious but long overlooked food. These shelled seeds are tender and unctuous with a delicious nutty flavour. They’re great in muesli, salads, breads, biscuits and more. Shelled hemp seeds are a tender alternative to whole seeds and have a higher oil and protein content. |
Hemp seeds are the nutritious seeds of varieties of Cannabis Sativa with no psychoactive THC content. They offer an ideal ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and are rich in plant-based proteins and fibre.
We're working with the British Hemp Company to offer a range of hemp seed products grown by their network of British hemp growers and processed at their base in Wiltshire.
