Title
Durum Wheat, Triticum durum Subsp. Hordeiforme Desf. 'Aruantha Spring'
Description
The second most common species of cultivated wheat, durum is often called pasta or macaroni wheat as it is seldom used in bread. Rome and ancient Egypt commonly used this type of wheat, leading to it becoming the latter’s main export. Does this remind you of the pastas we know and love?
