Whole organic wheat grain from the revolutionary YQ population, grown in the Deben valley in Suffolk.
YQ wheat grains can be cooked and eaten whole, or milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flavoursome and nutritious flour.
The YQ (Yield and Quality) wheat population was 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.

This is the cleanest grain I’ve used to home mill.
No extras, no chaff and grinds beautifully.
Excellent flavour and makes (so far) very good biscuits and whole grain bread.
Really like the idea of the population wheat as it has to be considered as a way forward to less input reliant farming.
Organic which is all we use through choice.
Thank you and congratulations to the growers and processor.
Interesting to see these cooking instructions. However, I would like to recommend YQ as a bread flour. After some five years of using various Hodmedod's wheats for my bread, this is one of the very best I have tried - I get loads of compliments from family and friends whenever I bake with this flour.

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.
Extremely tasty rye flour with a sweet malty taste. Mixed half and half with white spelt flour, it gives a loaf with great depth of flavour and nice, springy texture. Makes great toast.
