Wholemeal emmer flour, stone-milled in small batches here at Hodmedod in Suffolk, from emmer grown by Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire. PLEASE NOTE: Our speciality flours are freshly milled in small batches. Depending on our milling schedule orders including speciality flour are generally delivered in 2-5 working days but on occasion may take up to 10 working days. |
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.
Perfect for bread making and baking.

Super quality oats in a paper bag and very good value. Organic feels like the standard at Hodmedods so these oats are no exception. Better flavour and texture than porridge oats in my opinion.
Just what I'd been looking for - it lifted the bread we make from our usual mix of flour and grains to a new level. We use at the percentage suggested by Hodmedod's and it works beautifully, adding great flavour. Highly recommended!
This emmer is absolutely delicious, and everyone we've served it to has loved it. We simmer it and combine it with sauteed (in olive oil) diced onion and garlic, chopped parsley, and toasted pistachios. It's good hot or room temperature and the leftovers are equally good. Everyone likes it so much that we keep giving away our bags of emmer to them, so it was great to stock up at the recent pop-up event.
We eat so many of these beautiful fresh crisp nuts. The best Brazil nuts we have ever eaten
I bought bags for all my family and we all loved the fact of being able to support the indigenous people directly. We hadn't expected to also rave about these nuts being the freshest and most delicious Brazil nuts we've ever eaten as well! Thank you for sharing this wonderful bounty from the Amazon people - directly to us in the UK!
