On my recent trip to Scotland and during a visit to the fantastic monthly @bowhousefife market, I was introduced to Andrew Whitley who is THE man when it comes to wheat cultivation, milling and bread making. Surrounded by enormous bags of heritage wheat, he explained the travesty of the wheat industry which has, since WWII, developed processes to strip homogenous wheat varieties of all of their nutrients through standardised industrial processing: most wheat flour today is essentially dust with vitamins added back into it by law. Andrew is researching and organically growing native varieties at Balcaskie estate, aspiring for the most nutrient rich and locally adept species. There is nothing elitist about his desires - he believes inexpensive nutrient-dense bread is the right of all humans. He believes gluten-intolerance doesn’t come from wheat per se but from the manipulated stuff that dominates on the shelves and is incompatible with our digestion.
Later on, over a whisky and dinner at the wonderful new @kinneucharinn he taught me a lot and I was so enthralled by him that I forgot to take any pics! However, here is a pic of one of the leaflets he gave me which highlights some shameful facts about the misuse of Scottish-grown wheat. If you’re interested, take a look at what they do @scotlandthebread #scotlandthebread #balcaskieestate #bowhouse #eastneukoffife #scotland
