Take the Flour Back says the open-air trial risks spreading the wheat's engineered genes to "the local environment and the UK wheat industry".

Spread on whole-wheat toast and served with black coffee and fresh strawberries, it inspires a perfect springtime breakfast.
They will feel right at home with velvety chickpea and basil spread in whole-wheat pita, vegetable-filled rice pancake rolls, miso soup, organic pasta with slow-roasted tomatoes or grilled tempeh with a sweet-and-sour glaze.

What he found was a gradient of genes across Europe, fanning out from the Middle East, and the gene map almost exactly matches the archaeological map of the spread of wheat.
