Botanical Flour - #2 Meadow Blend

Sourdough School

£6.99

14 grains, seeds, pulses and flowers reflecting the diversity of crop and wild plants one might find in and by a field.

This is a freshly milled flour, ready to use in your bread and bakes. Botanical Blend #2 is also available as a grist of whole grains &c for home milling.

Created by Vanessa Kimbell of the Sourdough School and blended here at the Bean Store from grains and seeds grown by UK farmers, this botanical base mix is designed for use in sweet and savoury sourdough baking.

Originally available as a blend of whole grains, seeds and flowers for home milling, Botanical Blend No, 2 is now available as flour, fresh from the Hodmedod mill. 

Botanical Blend No. 2 is the first of several blends we plan to offer, all are the culmination of years of research by Vanessa into the workings of the gut microbiome, the process of wild yeast fermentation and the art of baking for flavour and nutrition. They reflect the diversity we need to see in fields and in our diets.

Any home baker can mill and add the blend to their bakes, bringing extra fragrance, flavour and nutrition. However, the blend is best used in conjunction with The Sourdough School: Sweet Baking which can be bought separately (with a £5 Hodmedod voucher) or with the blend (without a Hodmedod voucher, but with a £6 discount).

The Sourdough School: Botanical Blends information sheet is available as a free pdf download.

Emmer Flour, Stoneground Wholemeal

Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains

Sorry, not available right now

Wholemeal emmer flour, stone-milled in small batches through our own mill at the Hodmedod Mill House in Suffolk, from emer grown by Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire.

Atle is a high quality spring-sown bread-making wheat variety, first grown in Sweden in 1936 and popular in Britain in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Stoneground and wholemeal it retains its full nutrients and flavour and is suitable for yeasted and sourdough breads, pastry and cakes. 

Our current batch of Emmer is 18.3% protein with a Hagberg falling number of 291.

Domesticated in the Fertile Crescent (probably present day Turkey or Syria) from a wild wheat at least 10,000 years ago, Emmer has a genuine claim to being an ancient grain. Along with Einkorn it was a staple in the Bronze and Iron Age, but over millennia and as new varieties were selected by farmers, it became confined to isolated often mountainous regions of Asia and Europe.

Emmer fell out of favour because, like its ancient cousins Spelt and Einkorn, it doesn't thresh easily and so after harvest an extra process is required to remove the grain from the ear. The Italians continued to prize it for its flavour and use as a wholegrain for farro, and more recently it's been discovered by a wider audience - by farmers because it fits well into low-input systems and by home cooks and bakers because of its nutty flavour, nutritional profile and gluten profile - which many who struggle with modern wheats find more digestible.
