STONE-GROUND ANCIENT SICILIAN GRAINS

Sicilian ancient grains semolina pasta is the perfect choice for serving a tasty and healthy meal on any occasion.  The wheat used to produce the pasta has not been altered with genetic modifications and is the result of a careful selection of ancient grains, and we pay particular attention to the cultivation of the Timilia (Tumminia) and Perciasacchi varieties that we use for our whole-wheat pasta.

A special note for "Long Farro", commonly called Perciasacchi. This ancient grain takes its name from the pointed shape of the seeds that once pierced the jute sacks used to store the harvest and belongs to the khorasan or kamut® family. Perciasacchi pasta has a high protein and, therefore, gluten content, but a low resistance (low gluten index); It is a different quality of gluten than modern wheat because of its visco-elastic properties.

It’s a less elastic and tenacious gluten, less toxic for the human body. It may be considered appropriate to include ancient grains in the diet of gluten-sensitive people (Non-celiac Wheat Sensitivity), but not for people with coeliac disease.
