British Chickpeas

British chickpeas are back! These delicious and tender chickpeas are the harvest of the third year of British production. In the face of challenging summer weather, Henry Raker managed to harvest a crop on the light Breckland soils of Norfolk. Enjoy them! |
Norfolk farmer Henry Raker harvested the first ever field-scale crop of British chickpeas in 2019. This year's crop was harvested in September and has now been cleaned and packed. After a tricky summer in the field it'd be fair to say that the 2021 harvest chickpeas don't look as perfect as their imported cousins, but they taste fantastic. The third image shows the cooked chickpeas, as you can see there's some discolouration.

Cooking instructions
Soak the chickpeas for 6 hours. These UK-grown chickpeas contain some discoloured darker chickpeas. Though the discolouration is cosmetic, if you prefer you can pick these out between soaking and cooking. (That said, if you're making humous or similar there's really no need to do this.)
Cover with water or stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 to 50 minutes until the chickpeas are soft. Add more water if needed.

Miller's Choice, baker's delight!
This special limited edition loaf from the Wakelyns Bakery uses Miller's Choice flour, grown in Suffolk and milled by us. Much like YQ, but created by time in the field and careful selection of old wheat landraces rather than crossing more modern wheat varieties, Miller's Choice is a wheat population. It was developed over twelve years by Andrew Forbes of Brockwell Bake, using 19th century (and older) tall wheat varieties as a starting point.
Its heritage means it's particularly well suited to low input farming systems and our Miller's Choice was grown organically by John and Alice Pawsey in Suffolk. This week you can try it in some of Masie and Henrietta's wonderful slow-fermented wholegrain sourdough.
Andrew Forbes is a hero of the alternative grain community, you can read a little more about his work with Brockwell Bake and the creation of Miller's Choice on our blog.
We’ve got flour, we’ve got grain, and this week only (probably) we’ve got amazing tin loaves made by the Wakelyns bakery. They’re using exactly the same recipe as they use for our YQ tin loaves, but the two breads are very different – why not buy one of each and carry out a taste test!
Wakelyns Bakery make bread at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry. Each week the bakery produces very small batches of wholegrain bread, just enough for us to offer a few of their sustaining loaves, which have a complex nutty flavour and keep beautifully, through our website.
*Add the loaf to your basket and complete your order as usual. A small number loaves will be baked to order every Wednesday. Orders for Wednesday baking must be received by 8am on the Monday.

Miller's Choice, Organic Wholegrain
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
£1.49 £2.69
Wheat is one of the most common foods but whole wheat grains - sometimes known as wheatberries - are surprisingly rarely used. They're a versatile, tasty and nutritious ingredient that brings the full flavour of wheat, whether used whole or freshly milled.
The grains can be soaked, cooked and eaten whole, but our current spring wheat is best suited for milling at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) an makes a flavoursome and nutritious flour.
This Miller's Choice population was created by Andrew Forbes of Brockwell Bake by selecting for the long, lax ear of Red Lammas, the King of English milling wheats up to the mid 19th century, from John Letts’ heritage population.
Grown in Suffolk by John and Alice Pawsey.
