Whole Yellow Peas

Organic

Deliciously satisfying and a pleasing texture, whole peas lend themselves well to exotic and strong flavourings. Like other legumes they have high nutrient value, are rich in fiber and boast a low glycemic value making them exceptionally healthy.
		
Attributes
¼ inch wide, faded green in colour

The modern-day garden pea, from which dried peas are made, is thought to have originated from the field pea that was native to central Asia and Europe. Dried peas have been consumed since prehistoric times. Peas are mentioned in the Bible and were prized by the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome.

Dried peas are an excellent source of the trace mineral, molybdenum. They are also a very good source of dietary fiber, manganese, copper, protein, folate, vitamin B1, phosphorus, vitamin B5, and potassium.

Studies on peas show that they help lower cholesterol, strengthen the immune system, maintain glucose levels in the blood to keep energy levels consistent, promote bone health and cardiovascular health. The high vitamin C content is a great natural antioxidant that protects the body from cell damage

A tiny creation of Nature, flax is turbo packed with many vital nutrients and energy boosters with impressive health benefits. A healthy way to add crunch and nutty taste to any dish.
		
Attributes
Small, golden color and oval shape

Flax has been grown since the beginnings of civilization, and people all over the world have celebrated its usefulness throughout the ages. Historical records show Flax was cultivated in Babylon as early as 3000BC.

While other plant seeds — corn, sunflower, peanuts — contain omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, flaxseed is the only one that contains so much of the essential omega-3 fatty acids. Population studies of diet and disease risk suggest an anticancer and cholesterol reducing role for these compounds. Long-term studies of flaxseed effects on cancer and immune disorders prevention are underway.

Flaxseed also stands out above other whole grains due to its mix of fibre. Rather than containing large amounts of one type of fibre, flaxseed contains generous quantities of both soluble and insoluble fibre.

A Canadian heritage wheat that boasts exceptional flavor and baking properties while remaining un-altered by modern genetic modification.
		
Attributes
Deep red color and plump oblong shape.

Named after David Fife, the seed came from Scotland in 1842 and is believed to be a relative of Halychanka Wheat (a Ukrainian Heritage wheat).

The unique properties of Red Fife and its adaptation to the Canadian climate has made it the genetic parent to virtually all Canadian wheats grown in the prairies today.

Resurrected by a faithful group of organic heritage wheat and seed farmers, Red Fife seed is being actively preserved and protected as a Canadian Heritage variety.

Prince Charles was so taken with the heritage wheat with a Scottish connection, he took some bags home after being introduced to it in 2011. Since then when members of his family, such as the Queen and William and Kate, have visited Canada they have requested Red Fife flour to be delivered to Rideau Hall.

Although it is the foundation of many modern hybrid wheat varieties this wheat has itself not undergone the hybridization of modern wheats.

The taste of the red fife goods are much more complex than common Hard Red Wheats and the breads bake up moister, with a cohesive crumb. Especially suited to bread it has a high gluten content that can be mixed with low gluten flours (splet, rye etc) for excellent results.

Our red fife is grown in Western Canada on healthy organic soils.

It is part of Fieldstone Granary's coordinated Organic Producer plan, where crops are grown within one degree of separation, according to the high standards of the Canadian Organic Regime. This way Fieldstone can assure a high level of purity and integrity of the grain.
