Perciasacchi is a type of wheat originally from Sicily. Its name means "sack-hole" because of the pointed shape of its caryopsis, which pierced the jute sacks used to transport the grain. Some people mistake Perciasacchi for Kamut, a type of wheat from America, and call it "Sicilian Kamut". Although once grown all over Sicily, it is now only found in limited areas around Agrigento. This is thanks to the dedication of farmers who have worked to keep the production of this unique plant alive.
