Barley is a fantastic crop, ideal for low input farming systems, and a delicious and versatile ingredient. This distinctive dark variety, introduced to the UK by the British Quinoa Company, has a high level of anti-oxidant anthocyanins, giving it a rich purple-black colour and sweet nutty flavour.
Rich and malty black barley flakes are a delicious addition to muesli or granola. They’re also great toasted and sprinkled on salads, for baking, or to thicken and add flavour to soups and stews.

For my breakfast I generally have Kefir soaked with oats. Bought black Barley recently and started adding a spoon of it to the mix. It has added a new depth to the flavour and hugely elevated the pleasure of that meal. Please grow more of it.
Great addition to muesli and fabulous on home-baked bread. Very tasty.

I often find fava beans a bit bitter (is it just me?!) so have previously just used them in quite heavily flavoured dishes. Not these ones though - no bitterness at all - just really tasty. I often eat them just with a bit of seasoning and drizzle of oil!
This unusual flour is something everyone should try. I use it in sourdough and yeasted bread, and it makes an unusually dense dough that is actually rather textured and nice to stretch and fold even when using at 50:50 with white. It has a very nice flavour with a long prove - and so far has never over-proved on me by going liquidy. Aside from its unusual flavour and appearance, I have achieved a good firm and edible crust that doesn't turn into nasty shards
I make fantastic tasty hummus with Carlin Peas . I cook up the whole pack, then freeze in very small batches., equivalent to a canful, and they defrost overnight. I sometimes add butter beans or flageolets and vary the flavour with all sorts,…paprika, sun-dried tomatoes, aubergine etc. Or I can add them frozen to meat or veg stews, stir fries etc. love them!!
Really like this dish, great flavour and some real substance to it!
Fantastic grain for making risotto's and stews creates a really great creamy texture during cooking without the addition of dairy (although the addition of dairy elevates everything!) They don't overcook unlike rice so its almost a foolproof alternative, the end results are a moreish bite to the cooked grain.
