| Milled from revolutionary population wheat, grown at Hope Farm in Cambridgeshire, a farm that gives nature space to thrive. Our Hope Farm YQ Wheat Flour is RSPB Fair to Nature Certified - find out more at fairtonature.org |
This flour is revolutionary! It's milled from 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 flour has great texture and flavour, and is suitable for sourdough breads, pastry and cakes. It is wholemeal and stone-ground and retains all the nutrients and wholesome flavour of wholegrain wheat.
