Why are Ancient Grains from Sicily the Best?
In countries like Canada, France, and the USA, the battle against fungus and mycotoxins is a significant concern for wheat cultivation, often compromising the integrity of the whole wheat berry, forcing them to use fungicides.
Did you know certain people mistake gluten sensitivity with being allergic or sensitive to fungicides?
However, Sicily stands apart in this regard, thanks to its dry and hot climate that naturally discourages fungus growth. This favorable environment allows for the preservation of the entire whole wheat berry without the worry of mycotoxin contamination.
The unique climatic conditions of Sicily provide an ideal setting for growing wheat that is both healthy and pure, ensuring that the risk of fungus-induced damage is minimized and the quality of the wheat remains uncompromised.
At Papa Vince, we Lab Test all our products to ensure no mycotoxin contamination and no fungicides are used during farming.
Why can Ancient Grains from Sicily be Cultivated without Pesticides?
Sicilian ancient grains, celebrated for their extraordinary biodiversity and resilience, flourish without the need for fertilizers, pesticides, or artificial irrigation.
Genetically akin to einkorn wheat, humanity's oldest known wheat, these grains provide a gluten-sensitive option, yielding a nutritious and digestible whole wheat berry.
Science is now uncovering the potential of these resilient grains, which have flourished under the influence of diverse cultures throughout history.
