Open your eyes and you will see not a single species, but a world of relationships, and symbiotic connections to our environment and to ourselves.
Yet somewhere along the way, we lost this understanding. We stripped bread down to its most basic component—a single grain, grown in vast monocultures, processed, refined, and industrialised until it became something entirely disconnected from the natural world. We accepted this as normal. We forgot that bread was once diverse, alive, and nourishing, both for the body and for the land it came from.
Bread was never meant to be built on a single grain. monoculture is the foundation of ultra-processed foods. Industrial food production relies on a handful of highly refined ingredients—primarily monoculture-grown wheat, maize, soy, and rice—stripped of their natural diversity and complexity. These crops are bred for yield and uniformity, not for nutrition or flavour, and are then processed into refined flours, starches, and sugars that form the backbone of ultra-processed foods.
This lack of diversity is not just an agricultural issue; it’s a nutritional and gut health crisis. Diets dominated by ultra-processed foods are linked to chronic diseases, inflammation, and poor gut microbial diversity. By contrast, a diverse diet—rich in whole grains, seeds, pulses, and botanicals—is proven to feed a healthier, more resilient microbiome and supports regenerative farming that restores soil health and biodiversity.
Diversity Bread® is the antidote to this system. It moves beyond monoculture, restoring the kind of bread that nourishes, sustains, and truly supports both human and planetary health.
Diversity Bread® brings back the richness of real bread—crafted from a variety of grains, seeds, and botanicals that nourish the gut, support regenerative farming, and create loaves full of deep, complex flavour.
This is baking as it should be—vibrant, diverse, nourishing and alive.
Botanical Blend No 2 – Meadow Blend
Botanical Blend No.2 Meadow Blend Flour is a carefully curated mix of diverse grains, seeds, pulses, and botanicals designed to enhance both the nutritional profile and flavour of your baking. It includes ancient and heritage grains such as spelt, einkorn, emmer, barley, naked oats, and rye, alongside nutrient-rich additions like poppy seeds, buckwheat, linseeds, and dried peas. To further support gut health and deepen the flavour, the blend also incorporates dried edible meadow flowers—including cornflower, mallow flower, and rose petals—along with dried nettles, bringing a unique depth of character to the flour. This thoughtfully developed blend not only nourishes the gut microbiome but also aligns with regenerative agricultural practices, helping to restore diversity in both our diets and the way we grow food.
