Organic High Protein Wheat Grain 25kg

My Mockmill 200 struggles to grind this grain (it doesn't struggle with others grains on a finer setting). It has a high moisture content. I have to use a coarser setting to grind otherwise the moisture causes the mill to clog. I have also found different types of seeds in it (sunflower seeds, etc.) so if you purchase it, make sure to sift it properly. Lastly, it was poorly packaged for transit … so when it arrived the box was ripped on one side … so nothing to stop the bag of grain getting wet.

We are getting close to the end of our first sack of this whole wheat grain. Since we bought a home mill a few months ago tried a few kinds of grain, but this is wonderful for our sourdough bread. Am making 100% wholegrain and come out great. So flavoursome and wholesome, we all love it. Get the best combination of lift, crumb, crust if I do 60-70% of wholegrain with this wheat and the rest with Doves Strong White. Hope there are new bags in 1-2 weeks ... before we run out!

We use about one 25kg sack / year milled with our fabulous Austrian Waldner ceramic mill and the Dovesfarm grain has never let us down. There is a noticeably low amount of dust, only when getting to the very end of a sack. We never have spotted any weevils, grain beetles, moths or mites. This grain rises well and is protein-rich, it has even served us to make Seitan a couple of times.

I am on my third sack of this whole wheat grain . I mill it using a German made domestic mill it makes the best whole meal flour you can find. My bread maker does not need it for long enough to get a good rise so I run it twice , once on mix only and once on a whole meal mix and bake cycle. I recommend this wheat to any and who are looking for a value product.

Hi I have reviewed before, so this is an update. I find that the freshly ground flour is still the most flavoursome compared to aged flour. Presence of wheatgerm does retard the dough and reduces the springiness. I compensate for this by adding a bit extra yeast, or by adding 50% previously soured dough. The nutritional value is in a totally different league when compared to bread made from aged, treated, or even fine sieved flour. My only complaint is that it would be nice if the proportion of British grown red winter wheat, and the proportion of other wheats, are published on the packet.

Excellent grain, I had 500 grams milled (mixed with half bought white bread flour) and a loaf and 6 baps baked within 2 hours of the grain arriving, wonderful flavor and texture, best part it will only get better as the fresh milled flour ages, Great product, at a great price to boot, highly recommended.

Excellent. I have been milling my own wheat for a long time. This grain make the best sourdough bread I have ever made. No additions at all. The bread rises really well (takes a long time but then sourdough does whatever flour you use) The flavour is excellent and the crumb is very good indeed.

I now mill my own grain and am really pleased with the grain I bought from Dove. I grind the whole grain. I have two mills one which fixes onto my mixer which is the first one I bought and another specifically for my food processor. I am delighted with the results. As I live by myself the only hiccup is the size of sack of wheat. My bread turns out wonderful and I now never buy bread. I do use a product I had used in the U.S. to help it rise. I use my mixer to mix my bread as I have athritis in my hands and I let it rise twice. All in thrilled with the results

I have started to mill my own flour. This is the first grain that I have milled so far. I am starting off with 5 stars even tough I feel I have not been able to compare. I have been baking bread for the last few years specialising in sourdough bread. I have imported some grains from Italy and France though they have not arrived yet. I will be able to make comparisons at that point. For my first loaf, I did not sieve out the bran. It was truly 'whole-wheat'. I am usually not a big fan of bran. However, maturing/souring the dough overnight gave a sweet tasting, deep brown bread with a good rise. Very soft and fluffy, despite being wholewheat. Today I have sieved out the bran using a medium (number 20?) sieve. I would imagine that the wheatgerm, is ground up and mixed in. There is no way to know. Nearly 10% of the weight in bran appears to have been separated. The flour is still light brown but quite fine. I do not have a fine sieve currently but I would imagine I can obtain pastry grade extra-fine flour with another pass through fine sieve. As far as taste is concerned, this grain is moreish!! It is sweet yet springy with a very smooth crumb. Quite a thin and gentle crust to what I expected. Thanks for reading :)

I did not buy my flour direct from Doves, But I will next time! I grind mine then use it for wholewheat porridge meal, mixed with oats, millet, sesame seeds, makes a fantastic porridge! I used to be able to purchase wholewheat porridge meal, years ago from Mrs Horsefields, in Pentre foelas in NorthWales. But I haev'nt been able source it since, unless anyone knows better.

The wheat is good. It is clean. I cannot complain. I do not know what people are on about with the comments on a good rise, as freshly ground wheat is the worst flour you can possibly use if you want a good rise, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the wheat. Flour must age or be treated to develop the acids necessary to assist in the building of gluten chains that then permits a good rise. You'll get some rise still without aged or treated flour, but your bread will only be slightly better than a hockey puck. Again, good wheat, just couldn't help but speak some sanity to the "rise" topic.

Excellent, makes great bread with a very good rise.

Makes wonderful bread. For those looking for UK grown wheat, you will never get good strong wheat for bread making. The UK summer isn't hot enough or long enough to grow this type of wheat successfully. So either buy imported for settle for a heavy, more cakelike bread.

Mrs Alexandra Hunt What does it say on the bag I think imported is a clue.

Hi I use mine for wheatgrasss juiceing nice and sweet with a slight liquorice flavour 5 star service by the way. Be Lucky

I tried a few different sources of Wheat for home milling before finding this product. Quite simply this has given me the best results for bread flavour, crust and crumb. The fact that Doves are millers might have something to do with it. They have surely ensured that the blend is balanced for baking. For those thinking of home milling – check out the many different German and Austrian domestic electric stone mills. These countries never lost the tradition of home milling and their mills give good controllable results. Fresh milled flour is superior many reasons.

Wonderful wheat grain, makes lovely breads. There is nothing like bread made from freshly ground flour, it really is so much better than anything else! Grains keep well too, very pleased, thanks.

Having read the site I wrongly assumed that the grains were produced on the farm. When this sack of grain arrived it stated "product of several countries". Where this is the case the website should state this. Very deceptive, will not purchase again. Like to know exactly where my food is coming from. I got an apology 3 weeks later. Definitely not good enough.

I grind with a Samap F100 at a fine setting. The bread made with the flour has a nice flavour; sweet and creamy with a soft and slighly dense crumb with pleasing scent of the grain. Very nice indeed.
