Ancient Sicilian grains: Perciasacchi flour

Perciasacchi, the flour used in our Sicilian Paccheri di Perciasacchi, owes its name to the pointed shape of the seeds that pierced the jute sacks, once used to preserve the harvest. It is a Sicilian durum wheat, traditionally grown in the hilly areas of the hinterland.

The plant makes the most of water, light and nutrient resources and is more resistant to weeds: this allows for low environmental impact cultivation compatible with local consumption and small rural economies.
