Sicilian Mezze Maniche di Perciasacchi, made with ancient Sicilian wheat! Format: 500 g. The Perciasacchi of the Sicilian Mezze Maniche di Perciasacchi gets its name from the pointed shape of the grains that used to pierce the jute bags, once used for storing the harvest. It is a hard Sicilian wheat, traditionally grown in the hilly areas of the inland. The plant makes the most of water, light, and nutrients, and is more resistant to weeds: this allows for an environmentally friendly cultivation compatible with local consumption and small rural economies. The flours of Perciasacchi, like our Sicilian Mezze Maniche di Perciasacchi, have high protein content and, therefore, gluten but low strength (low gluten index), which makes them probably more digestible and suitable even for people sensitive to gluten. Moreover, the not very strong gluten makes Perciasacchi a grain suitable for baking, for easy-to-work doughs. It also has a high content of microelements, such as selenium, iron, and zinc, and is rich in fiber, which have proven effectiveness in controlling cholesterol and blood glucose, helping to prevent numerous diseases, and polyphenols that counteract free radicals. The Sicilian Mezze Maniche di Perciasacchi show a pleasant appearance, intense color, and a unique aromatic component, making them characteristic and good for all five senses! Properties: High protein value, Low glycemic index, Presence of mineral salts, Vitamins E and B3, Presence of selenium, an element that provides an antioxidant effect to our body.
