Viva! T-Shirt & Cookbook
Today a Norfolk based company, passionate about British beans have a large box of beans, peas and quinoa to GIVEAWAY!
Founded by three friends, Nick Saltmarsh, Josiah Meldrum and William Hudson, who share a belief in good, sustainable and local food after successfully running a trial project Great British Beans to stimulate and assess the demand for indigenous pulses. The formed Hodmedods (meaning hedgehog) and are reviving long forgotten beans. They also now have added British Quinoa to their range. As you know, countries in South America who have been eating quinoa (a seed rich in protein..eaten in place of grain) as a staple food for generations, have seen the prices rise considerably due to the growing demand of richer countries in the West who have caught on to the seeds culinary versatility. Growing it locally can only be a good thing for all.
