Einkorn (Monococco) Wheat is cultivated in Paliano and used to produce pasta and dry cakes.
It was the first type of wheat cultivated in the Mezzaluna Fertile and around Tiberiade about 23,000 years ago and represented, with barley and hulled wheat, the basis of the diet of the Mediterranean populations.
It was replaced by soft wheat around the mid-sixteenth century and rediscovered recently in France, where it obtained the Protected Geographical Indication.
This grain has a great natural resistance to disease and climatic stress, and a high content of proteins, antioxidants, vitamins, zinc, iron and phosphorus.
Thanks to the easily digestibility, due to the low gluten content, it is a product suitable for everyday use.
