This product is made from Timilia and Simeto grains, both of which are ancient cereals. These wheat varieties are the genetic heritage of almost ten centuries of Mediterranean biodiversity. Their cultivation has been abandoned for decades and replaced by new, modified cereal varieties. This was because the chemical industry needed ammonium nitrate, but also the engineering industry promoted this change to enable the sale of their new wheat harvesters. Another reason that these grains were abandoned is the ban on cultivation imposed on farmers. However, the main reason is grain yield, as old wheat varieties yield 50% less than modern varieties. 
The modified grains have more and more protein content.The introduction of these difficult-to-digest flours also led to an increase in the intolerances that are so common today.
