Whole organic wheat grain from the revolutionary YQ population, grown in the Deben valley in 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.

This is the cleanest grain I’ve used to home mill.
No extras, no chaff and grinds beautifully.
Excellent flavour and makes (so far) very good biscuits and whole grain bread.
Really like the idea of the population wheat as it has to be considered as a way forward to less input reliant farming.
Organic which is all we use through choice.
Thank you and congratulations to the growers and processor.
Interesting to see these cooking instructions. However, I would like to recommend YQ as a bread flour. After some five years of using various Hodmedod's wheats for my bread, this is one of the very best I have tried - I get loads of compliments from family and friends whenever I bake with this flour.

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!
What a beautiful, brilliant book of delicious recipes, from classics with a twist, to creatively playful culinary experiments, healthy eating has rarely felt so exciting and satisfying. Suffused throughout with the deep love of land and produce, earthy food culture and the most precious of convivialities the communing of dining together. The book is already a favourite in our household and will no doubt end up as one of those cookery books affectionately well thumbed and adorned with flamboyant spatterings of ingredients!
I pre ordered so got my copy early, bought as a Christmas present for my daughter. It really is a delight to read and look through, so much so to de-risk making the present one look “thumb’d” I’m ordering a second for ourselves. The recipe in this pic comes highly recommended.
A book full of wholesome, locally sourced food. Good for you and good for the environment. Hodmedod's quality of produce and quality of spirit is what Britain is about and this incredible book will be well placed on any home cooking shelf and a welcomed gift to friends and family. Well done guys!
Another excellent Hodmedods lentil supporting British Farming. So tasty, great to use in curry amongst a host of other dishes.
