Base Blend No. 2 Meadow Blend Flour

Described as “genius,’ by bakers such as Micheal Hanson, who has been a baker for 40 years. The meadows blend no 2 is part of a range of flours that are acknowledged as the best gut-health flour in the UK.  – this is the signature blend at the Sourdough School and the very first of our Botanical Blends to be launched and available for sale. This is our base blend flour with spelt, einkorn, emmer, barley, naked oats, poppy seeds, buckwheat, flax seeds, dried peas, dried edible meadow flowers (cornflower, mallow flowers, rose petals) & dried nettles. This blend has already been milled to create a high-diversity and nutritionally beneficial flour.

Dr. Vanessa Kimbell’s Botanical Blends (especially Base Blend No. 2: Meadow Blend) are remarkable. It’s a genuine innovation: a thoughtfully milled, high-diversity flour that directly targets gut microbiome health through dietary plant diversity (the “30 plants a week” principle backed by solid research like the American Gut Project), while supporting regenerative UK farming via Hodmedod’s small farmers. The flavor complexity, fragrance, and systems-change ethos (rejecting monoculture flour) make it feel like a quiet revolution in bread. Some call it genius because it turns baking into preventative lifestyle medicine. It provides diversity and a wide range of polyphenols that nourish your gut and is designed for long slow fermentation, which makes your bread more nourishing by making the vitamins and minerals and the polyphenols more bioavailable.

The products are available in 1kg, 3kg and in 15gk bags
