YQ Wholemeal Wheat Flour, 1.5 Kilos, Hodmedod's details and description
This flour is grown at Hope Farm, Cambridgeshire. Stone milled in Suffolk by Hodmedod. Milled from revolutionary population wheat grown on a farm giving nature space to thrive.
This flour is 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.
Hope Farm is RSPB fair to nature certified.
This wholegrain YQ flour can be blended with other flours or used alone to make bread, pancakes, pastries, biscuits and sauces.
