Beremeal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beremeal is a whole grain flour made from bere, a variety of barley grown in northern Scotland, Orkney, and the Shetland Islands. It is commonly used in making bannocks and ale. "Bere, bear or baird is the four- or six-row barley, hardier and coarser than ordinary two-row barley"(The Concise Scots Dictionary, Ed Mairi Robinson. Aberdeen University Press. 1987.)
