Is it necessary to give up all carbohydrates to have a healthy diet? No, you simply have to choose high quality raw materials, from the pasta you buy to the raw flours, containing the right amount of nourishment and not too refined ad the 00. In this way, eating a home made pizza or bread will be a satisfaction not only for your palate, but your body too will thank you. The best way to approach this virtuous circle is know and select craft mills like Fastuchera Azienda Agricola, choosing for example producers of ancient wheat as Russello, Tumminia, Maiorca, from the moment that these last ones are almost all stone milled and low refined, both the characteristic are necessary to have an high quality carbohydrate.

The ancient durum wheat varieties have recently been doing a comeback, once they were abandoned for their poor yield, nowadays they’ve been reconsidered for their extraordinary organoleptic properties and the characteristic aromas that distinguish themselves from the most common ones. The Russulidda is part of this category, a Sicilian ancient durum wheat which is a truly unique variety as benefits on health (low gluten content, facilitation of digestion, high lignin content that favours the circulatory system) and the aromatic typicalness. Fastuchera Azienda Agricola is a small Sicilian reality, starting from the ancient wheats cultivation to the transformation in hand made pasta, obtaining a Sicilian ancient wheat pasta from organic agriculture. Yesterday some new products have been presented, among which the Paccheri di Russulidda - Fastuchera Azienda Agricola, a typical format of the southern Italy gastronomic tradition which finds in this variety an original aromatic mark and inviting toasted perfumes.
