Valencian red wheat is reborn in Alt Palancia

This month we are going to Alt Palancia to learn about the CRA Palancia-Mijares initiative, a clustered rural school that has decided, through Caudiel's AMPPA, and guided by environmental educator Francesca Badal, to recover a Valencian variety of ancient wheat called blat roig and that Sílvia López, of flours It was, conserved in two sacs fa un quant temps. the project, awarded by the Soler i Godes Pedagogical Renovation Chair of the Jaume I University, no sols recovers a treasure from our agriculture and gastronomic universe, rather, it connects Caudielano students with responsible food, the traditional agriculture of the region and the ties between the population to recover the living memory of the traditional activities of Alt Palancia. Planted last November, the valencian red has sprouted strongly and is already around eight centimeters tall. The school year, which will contain quarterly workshops for all cycles related to the subjects of each level, will end with the harvest of this form, in June, from which a part can be recovered that will be used to make seed that will recover this variety of Valencian wheat that will once again be among us.
