The owner of this small business, Rosaria, is committed to \u003cstrong\u003eprotecting biodiversity and preserving the natural heritage of the territory\u003c\/strong\u003e, cultivating ancient Sicilian wheat varieties that are then transformed into pasta in the province of Marsala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANCIENT WHEATS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAncient wheats are a particular type of \u003cstrong\u003enon-genetically modified\u003c\/strong\u003e wheat, called so to distinguish them from \"modern\" wheats, which are all those types of wheat that over time have undergone modifications by humans to meet the needs of the food industry. The variety used to make the Reginette is called \u003ci\u003ePerciasacchi\u003c\/i\u003e (Khorasan), from the Sicilian \"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 wheat, 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.

Additionally, ancient wheats have a \u003cstrong\u003ehigher fiber content\u003c\/strong\u003e that helps keep the glycemic index low, along with a type of gluten that is much less resistant and less aggressive toward the immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, we can say that these types of wheat are more respectful of our body, causing \u003cstrong\u003efewer inflammatory effects\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eimproving digestibility\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosaria Miceli Azienda Agricola","offers":[{"title":"1 pack","offer_id":43538563104907,"sku":null,"price":5.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 Rigatoni","offer_id":43538563137675,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"6+6 Rigatoni + Spaghetti","offer_id":43538563170443,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9707\/7899\/files\/Rigatoni-_1.jpg?v=1748424755","url":"https:\/\/boniviri.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/pasta-rigatoniperciasacchi-bio-copy","provider":"Boniviri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
