Milling & Grain Provenance: Khorasan (Triticum turanicum) is an ancient grain from the Persian region of the same name Khorasan now in Iran. Khorasan is one of the earliest types of wheat, its ancestors Emmer and Einkorn where all grown in the “fertile resent” the birthplace of agriculture around Mesopotamia thousands of years ago. Our Khorasan is from an ancient Italian variety “Perciasacchi” which is one of the oldest conversions from durum. It has been farmed using a low input farming model in Italy. The wheat once referred to as “Wheat of the Pharaohs” indicates when it was used by and by who. One thing is for certain Khorasan is very tall with deeper route systems supporting its nutritional requirements. The nutritional value of the grain has been maximised by slowly stoneground milling the grain into a dark wholegrain flour.
