Gog Magog beans can be cooked just like butterbeans and are superb in bean casseroles or spicy tapas dishes.
Cooking instructions
Soak overnight, rinse, place in a pan and cover with plenty of cold water. Bring to boil and boil for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for around 45 minutes until tender.
Notes on Cooking Dried Pulses
Cooking times for dried pulses will be longer at higher altitudes and when cooking with hard water or older pulses.
Adding bicarbonate of soda during soaking and/or cooking will soften the pulses and reduce the cooking time.
Cooked pulses can be used immediately or frozen for later use.

Triticale Flour, Organic
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
Sorry, not available right now
Triticale is a hybrid of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and rye (Secale cereale), combining the quality and yield potential of wheat with the flavour, adaptability and resilience of rye.
Wholegrain triticale flour has a high protein content and is lower in gluten than other cereals, making it well suited for lighter rye-style breads and crispbreads, as well as biscuits, cakes and muffins.
Our organic triticale flour is grown and milled at Maple Farm, Kelsale in Suffolk.

Squareheads Master Wheat, Wholegrain
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
Sorry, not available right now
| Squareheads Master is a 19th century variety of milling wheat, grown since the 1860s to provide grain for bread making and straw for thatching. |
Our Squareheads Master wheat is grown at Hulver Farm in Suffolk by Paul Watkin and his son Tobias. As their main interest is in thatching straw (this wheat grows well over a meter tall), with the grain a by-product, the wheat is cut with a reaper-binder rather than a combine harvester (which would also thresh the grain out) so as not to damage the straw. The binder ties the cut wheat into sheaves which are then stacked or 'shocked' into stooks in the field to dry.
Once dry, Paul and Tobias use an early 20th century Ransome's threshing machine, powered by a traction engine, to gently separate the grain from the straw - see it in action!
This crop of Squareheads Master was threshed at Henham Steam Rally, which is held a few miles from our Bean Store.

New Harvester Milling Wheat is only available as part of our January 2020 Miller's Box selection of grists for home milling as we have very limited grain available from the 2019 harvest. |
New Harvester is a late 19th century variety of wheat, probably one of the first improved selections for bread wheat.
Our New Harvester is grown at Hulver Farm in Suffolk by Paul Watkin and his son Tobias. As their main interest is in thatching straw (this wheat grows well over a meter tall), with the grain a by-product, the wheat is cut with a reaper-binder rather than a combine harvester (which would also thresh the grain out) so as not to damage the straw. The binder ties the cut wheat into sheaves which are then stacked or 'shocked' into stooks in the field to dry.
Once dry, Paul and Tobias use an early 20th century Ransome's threshing machine, powered by a traction engine, to gently separate the grain from the straw - see it in action!
This crop of New Harvester was threshed at Brampton Plough Day, which is held just over the road from our Bean Store.
