| Wholegrain wheat from the revolutionary YQ population, grown at Hope Farm in Cambridgeshire, a farm that gives nature space to thrive. Our Hope Farm YQ Wheat Grain is RSPB Fair to Nature Certified - find out more at fairtonature.org |
This grain is revolutionary! It's from a crop of the YQ (Yield and Quality) wheat population 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.
Too many farmland species are under threat from intensive farming, yet farming needs healthy wildlife to secure food production for the future. The RSPB’s Fair to Nature scheme is helping to make space on farms for birds, bees, butterflies, wildflowers, and more.
YQ wheat grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.

This wheat behaves in a similar manner to their Flanders Wheat berries. As there is no nutritional information regarding the protein levels, I can only assume it is at a similar level to that of Flanders. I may be wrong though.
Why 4 stars? My first order was a combination of Flanders & YQ. One of the bags had ripped during transit. I will be ordering from Hodmedods again👍

I used these to make humous for the first time. I swear it tastes almost exactly the same as when made with chickpeas and so much nicer than shop bought. Very smooth and takes on the garlic and lemon flavours beautifully. Will use for dips again in the future.
Extremely tasty rye flour with a sweet malty taste. Mixed half and half with white spelt flour, it gives a loaf with great depth of flavour and nice, springy texture. Makes great toast.
This my first time cooking with dried fava and what a revelation! I love fresh broad beans because/despite them often being a little bitter, but there's not a trace of bitterness in these delicious Scottish fava beans. I've used some for soup, some for a hummus-type dip and some just straight in a salad. They've become my new addiction, they're so beautifully sweet and tasty.
Like chickpeas, these are perfect added to a salad bowl. Just wash them in a colander first to lose the thick liquid that you'd otherwise want to keep for a soup or stew.
What a great book!
So many recipes I want to try out...especially the ones using Carlin peas, which I bought a load of and haven't known how to use ....
I love the design & layout if the book and excellently clear instructions ...
I'm looking forward to using it very soon...
