Bere is the native barley of Orkney. In the past it was an
important multi-use crop and a staple of the Scottish diet, though
its use declined as more easily-processed crops were introduced.
Bere is still grown on Orkney farms by an agricultural contractor
employed by the Birsay Heritage Trust who run the Barony Mill,
Orkney's last operating water mill. Here the grain is milled into
beremeal, a cream-coloured flour with a distinctive, earthy, nutty
flavour. In this book acclaimed food writer Liz Ashworth traces the
story of bere from its Neolithic origins to the present day,
providing useful culinary tips and recipes on how this ancient
grain can be introduced to the modern kitchen for enjoyment.
Recipes are included for Breads, Scones, Tea Breads, Cakes, Tray
Bakes, Puddings, Pastry Dishes, and Sweet and Savoury Biscuits.
