Summer Pulse & Grain Bundle

PI'Y Brazil Nuts

Cooperativa Kayapo

£3.99

The Landworkers' Alliance, Roddick Foundation, Hodmedod and Kayapó-led cooperative COOBA-Y have come together to build a new direct trade relationship in solidarity with the Indigenous fight for survival, bringing wild-harvested nuts directly from the Kayapó people of Brazil to the UK for the first time.

By buying PI'Y - the Kayapó name for Brazil nuts - you’re strengthening the Kayapó people, their culture and the Amazon rainforest they protect and depend on. Trading the nuts provides financial autonomy for around 600 families in over 50 Kayapó villages, and helps protect Indigenous lands - 40 thousand square miles of Amazon rainforest.

Whole Walnuts in Shell

Red Hat Orchards

£7.50

The walnut trees at Red Orchards were planted in November 2001 with named walnut varieties from Britain, Europe and North America. Varieties grown include Axel, Lara, Buccaneer and Broadview. Each net contains a mix of different varieties - taste the differences!

The trees and nuts are unsprayed. After gathering they're dried outside in the sun before being hand graded and packed.

Prune, Barley and Oat Squares

Wakelyns Bakery

£9.90

Wakelyns Bakery at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry produces small batches of wholegrain bread for us every week. A celebration of a system - oats and plums and barley grow! Agroforestry, the system of farming used at Wakelyns, yields so much more than just cereals; the trees, shrubs and other perennial plants provide timber, wood, dye, fruit and nuts (as well as creating a rich habitat for wild species). 

Baker Henrietta Inman says:

We’re very happy to have created and to share with you all, this bursting-full-of-goodness treat, adapting one of our favourite cakey things, a good old date and oat slice, with the ingredients we have around us, and other, kind, directly traded ingredients. Instead of dates, we cook up many Wakelyns plums, fresh and dried, with New Dawn Traders wonderful, unrefined panella sugar and a little Wakelyns cider vinegar and sea salt to balance out the sweetness. Together they create an oozing rich centre between two layers of barley and oat crunchy-crumbliness. Barley flour has a delicate sweet-creamy flavour; with the slightly toothsome kibbled and flaked barley and oats, they create such a yummy combination of many flavours and textures, complimenting the prune centre.

As well as wheat, it’s really joyful and important to use other grains in our baking, supporting diversity on farm and inside us. With its distinct flavour, barley is a beautiful addition to every kitchen! We love using it from our friend, plant breeder, Ed Dickin’s family farm. Ed is working on a naked barley population also.

Please be aware that we bake and cook with the seasons, what we have around us and our preserved stocks of fruit, and when some ingredients run out, for example, when we use up all our candied quince, we will seek the appropriate alternatives for flavour and nutrition, but also for our bakery stock rotation, using up what we have so that we are prepared for the coming summer – autumn abundance until the next hungry gap.

Wakelyns PI’Y Brazil Nut Sourdough Tin Loaf

Wakelyns Bakery

£7.50

Wakelyns Bakery at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry produces small batches of wholegrain bread for us every week. This beautiful loaf is made with flour milled at the Hodmedod mill, from organic YQ wheat grain grown by the Turners in Lincolnshire and studded with Brazil nuts collected by the Kayapo in the Amazon.

Baker Henrietta Inman says:

We were so happy when we heard about the Landworkers’ Alliance, Roddick Foundation, Hodmedod and Kayapó led cooperative COOBA-Y coming together to build a new direct trade relationship to bring their wild-harvested PI’Y, the Kayapó name for Brazil nuts, to the UK for the first time.

With many flavours, textures and feelings of creamy-oaty-smooth-oily-rich-crunchy, they are all-sensory-satisfying magic, and we couldn’t wait to get them into as many of our kitchen creations as possible!

Coming across pieces of PI’Y suspended in our soft, brown-butter-honey wholemeal YQ dough is a very delicious surprise! Sometimes you might feel you’d still like some butter, sometimes, the nut’s delectable richness will suffice! We really hope you enjoy them, as you, EAT NUTS, SUPPORT THE KAPAPÓ, SAVE THE FOREST.

When we bring awareness and with that, compassion, to our own body ecosystems, then those around us, our homes, gardens, small bakeries… our compassion will ripple out into our whole ecosystem, our world.
