| 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👍

Just mix with some oats in a bowl, consistency should be dry enough to form small patties, slightly thicker than a biscuit but same diameter, then fry in your leftover bacon fat for 2 or 3 minutes each side, delicious and not too strong a flavour
As a longtime fan of Hodmedod’s I’ve been waiting for this book to arrive and gift to friends and family. No longer will there be a bag of dried peas languishing at the back of the cupboard or any procrastinating over what to do with my fava beans. This book is stuffed with delicious-sounding recipes and beautiful photographs that I want to make and share with others. There are lots of comfort food ideas which is just what I crave in the colder months as well as lighter recipes; all of them full of flavour, fibre and protein. It’s an interesting, though-provoking read even if you don’t do much cooking and left me feeling joyful, inspired and thankful that the need for and appreciation of diversity is expressed and runs richly through this book.
Your book offers recipes inspired by cooking styles from around the world while using your diverse range of British ingredients. I would like to try the different flat breads made with rye, emmer, buckwheat and pea flour. This book contributes to helping people eat better and cook their own food with ingredients grown with care for the land. Thank you 🤩
This granola is delicious, especially with blueberries and banana and topped with yoghurt or coconut kefir. I’ll definitely be buying 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.
