It is an ancient grain (Triticum turgidum turanicum) originating from the Fertile Crescent. 
It has never been modified to increase yield: the plant reaches 170 cm and the grain is about one-third larger than that of modern wheat. The result is a fuller flavor and pasta that holds its texture perfectly during cooking.
