The variety used to make the Reginette is called \u003ci\u003ePerciasacchi\u003c\/i\u003e (Khorasan), from the Sicilian word \"perciare,\" meaning to pierce, because the pointed shape of the grain caused holes in the jute sacks used for transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the cultivation of this ancient grain, the technique of \u003cstrong\u003ecrop rotation\u003c\/strong\u003e is used, alternating wheat and legumes, in order to ensure \u003cstrong\u003ebetter soil fertility\u003c\/strong\u003e.
